One of my female cobraskin guppies had around 30 babies a week ago. I noticed her tailfin got nipped a few days ago and it has deteriorated further. She is eating freeze dried bloodworms and sinking wafers by hikari but not much, and she is lethargic and wont interact with her tankmates. Either sits in the bottom or at the top in a corner. No other symptoms.
Params
29 gal 8 week old setup that i did a three week fishless cycle on (got some bb from Petco in the form of dirty prefilter fiber and some powdered bac from a pond store),
pH is 6.8 temp is 76,
Fluval AquaClear filter rated for 20-30 gal,
Zero ammonia, zero nitrite
10% weekly wc/surface vac and weekly dosing of florapride,
Lots of plants in sand and gravel substrate
Other inhabitants are all peaceful, just typical males pestering females:
About 20 fry
10 ghost shrimp
1 dwarf gourami
5 female guppies
7 male guppies
2 sailfin balloon mollies (m and f)
1 peacock eel 3 1/2 inches long
(yes i will upgrade to a larger tank this summer)
2 albino cory cats
1 tiny syno catfish my bf insisted on that is sure to become huge... again this summer I'm planning on getting a larger tank for the cat and eel.
So i isolated momma guppy in a breeder bc i don't have a proper place to qt. How should i proceed?
