When I got home fro
Work I noticed that one of my 2 orange coloured guppies was twitching, swimming sideways or resting on the floor. Another of the guppies (different colour) was biting it. The other orange one was looking fine and healthy. I took the sick one (or maybe it was attacked by another fish?) and put it in a net isolated from the rest to prevent it from being bitten to death. Then I went to watch TV for about one hour and came back to check on my sick guppy. To my surprise, the healthy orange guppy was dead and being nibbled by one of my shrimp. No clue what happened in a single hour. The sick one that I had in the net didn't get any better in three days and seemed to get weaker and didn't even try to eat the food I gave it and only lied there on its side. So today I euthanised it. Any idea of what could have happened? All other fish look healthy and happy.
