Question by : Yesterday half my guppies fins were discolored know half of his fins are gone, What do I do?
I don’t have any acces to any medicine besides Betta Fix- http://www.petco.com/product/10673/Aquarium-Pharmaceuticals-Splendid-Betta-BettaFix-Remedy.aspxI also have aquarium salt. I don’t know what it is I don’t know what to do. Will it spread to the others? If I have to seperate him from the others the only thing I have is a half gallon container.The pet store is more then 3 hours away from our house. Could the ride cuased him stress?Should I seperate him even though it is only a half gallon tank? How long Should He be sepereated? I might be able to order off petco.com so if you have any links to some kind of medicene off there I might be able to order it. Can Glo fish tolerate aquarium salt?There are 3 glo fish and 3 other guppy’s in the tank.Rin, If you read this again out of the 3 medicenes you sugested what one do you think would work the best. (Besides the one that is out of stock). How long do I have before my fish dies?I do have a walmart near me.Thank you soooo much rin! You always give the best answers!!! I don’t Think I can thank you enough!!!I have a half gallon with betta fix in it and a pinch of aquarium salt. Is that safe to put him in? How can I confort him until I get any kind of antibiotic.Also the half gallon isn’t heated.Now that I put him in the half gallon he is laying on the bottom open and closing his gill thing! It seems like he is doing worse in the half gallon! Im soo confused I don’t know what to do!…I didn’t float him or use the same water… I probably made it allot worse… How can I confort him?Sorry I mean- How can I comfort him?I used bottled water to fill the half gallon. Thanks soo much again!I just tested my PH And it was high. Is that bad? It was in between 7.8 and 8.0.(I tested the PH in the tank my other guppies and glo fish are in.) Could high PH Cause fin rot?He died….. )’:

Question by hawksy: How will not lighting an aquarium affect the guppies that live in it?
I have a breeding pair in a tank without a light (awaiting the arrival of one) and they seem really slow, and are spending time in places where the flow of the filter isn’t as strong. Is this because of the lack of light or should I be looking at other issues?

Best answer:

Answer by hottamalee33
You should be looking at other issues. Not to many fish love strong currents.

What foods besides tropical fish flakes are healthy for guppies to have in their diets?

Filed under tropicalfish by on July 14, 2010 at 12:13 pm {5 comments}

I know dried blood worms and baby brine shrimp are good, but if you are unable to get your hands on that at the moment, what are some other foods that guppies enjoy and are healthy, particulary foods that have greater amounts of vitamin D? Are their any households foods or vegetables that go good with a tropical fish flake diet when cut into very small peices? I just want my guppies to have a more nutritious, healthy, and exciting diet.

Thanks for all input, advice, etc.
If you’re an experienced guppy owner, please help a fellow friend out!
