I've looked all over online but no luck. This is my first tank and im not aware of all sicknesses on freshwater fish. I bought 2 male guppies from walmart since that was the closest place from where we live. I cycled my tank and everything was fine. So when i bought the guppies i noticed they were on the top of the tank most of the time. I bought the guppies seeing them scared at walmart, i decided to give them a better home. But last night i noticed one of my guppies looking pregnant. On its left side his scales looking white and he cant swim properly. He tries swimming down but he floats up. He doesnt eat and keeps staying at the top corner. I feel bad and the only thing i was able to find as help was the aquarium salt bath. Does he have "dropsy" or is it just bloat? Please help idk if he will live without me trying to help. I got more fish and none of them are sick. My gf took water yesterday to petsmart and they said that the water was fine but ammonia was able bit high but still on the safe zone. Temperature is at 78. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced.
