I got my first 70 gallon tank. I cycled the water for about a week before adding 6 guppies yesterday. They stayed at top for while after I added them. But in the morning two of them were at bottom, one not moving at all and one barely moving fighting to swim.
After I came back from work, I realized that the one that was not moving at all (I thought it was dead) has moved about a inch from where I remember it in the morning, though I see no movement at all. I am not sure if its dead or alive but sick.
Would appreciate any advice on diagnosing whats going on with the one which is not moving at all. I thought it was dead, but now that I realize that it has moved a bit, I am not sure if its just sick and not moving. Don't wanna give up on it and take it out but don't want to let it decompose in the tank either.
The other one is laying down sideways with slight fin and gill movement.
Three of rest seem to be swimming well in the tank, and fourth is always at top in one corner.
I am newbie so your advice would be helpful.
