I have followed all the tips i was given, but my only male guppy is dying, he seems to be all off balance, and mainly laying on the bottom. He does keep comin to the surface for air (maybe) Theres no marks or anything that looks wrong with him? Any ideas?

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Do a water change now!!! Get another airpump with one of the long airstones, and get more oxygen in the water... Check the water temperature, and make sure that it is 64-82 degrees F.... Check you water parameters and make sure they are good.... And heck, just for good measure add some Melafix to the tank, follow the directions for the appropriate amount for your size of tank...It is a good cure all for the most part... Best of luck, and hope he makes it... Heidi Last edited by hmlaird at 22-Nov-2004 21:01 "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle
