[Fishlover3578]

I think my female guppy is ether sick or stressed ..z she is beig quarentined with a bunch of male guppies and some tiny fry because she is new . Only symptom is she is a bit pale... All other fish look healthy an water is good cuz I just did WC last Friday

I have ha her for a week as of today

How many males and females do you have?

Live bearers like guppies should be housed at least 3F:1m (or all male if you don't want babies) to spread the stress of the boys chasing the girls. If there are too few girls for the boys to chase around the girls get tired and stressed.

So she is just stressed then not sick ... Just wanted to be sure before I mix her in with others ... Well I'm going to keep her by herself til I can switch her to my female tank

K thanks I did water change on both my tanks to be safe

It's likely that she's just stressed. How long was she in with the males?

 

[Fishlover3578]

Just 1 week

Plenty of time for her to have potentially gotten pregnant.
