White Stuff on Guppy Tail- Need Help!
Hi,
I'm new and my guppy has something wrong with his tail.
It was kinda split in half when I got him last friday (the tail). I thought it might have supposed to have been that way but am not sure.
Now the bottom half of it is completely covered in white stuff. It looks kinda fuzzy. It doesn't look like the pictures of ich I've seen, but there are so many different other things it might be that I'm overwhelmed and need help figuring out what it is and what I need to do.
I've pulled him out of the main tank and put him in a tiny 1 gallon tank with an air bubble thingy. This is probably to small but its what I have here.
I didn't notice anything at all until this evening when I got home. Another fish suddenly died last night too, but had no white stuff anywhere on him.
I've been changing out the water every weekend taking out and replacing around 15 gallons (of the 46 gallon tank). This is with a vacuum gravel thing.
I bought him last friday, so almost a week ago. I stuck him in the bag in the tank for temp, then added a bit of tank water to the bag, then dumped him in with around 15 minutes between each. I didn't quarintine him or anything.
I haven't added anything new that I can think of since I got him- oh I did start feeding the corydories shrimp pellets but am not sure how that could be related.
I've been feeding them TetraMin tropical crisps and omegaone shrimp pellets. I also added 2 peas about 4 days ago b/c I was afraid my pink glofish was constipated. He shrunk back to size.
Let me know if you need any other information. I'm now going to attempt to figure out how to upload a picture of him.
