	Guppys still flicking!
loulou Hobbyist Posts: 81 Kudos: 74 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Nov-2005	My Guppys are still flicking, no Ich or Fungas visable all eating and swimming around mad but flicking against plants all the time. the tank there in has lower PH than LFS i got them from 2 weeks ago, and i have Sera CO2 tablets that i put in with plant ferts weekly with the 30% (approx) water change. could this be whats causing them to flick/scratch?? should i just treat them with the Protozin i have at home?

Here is a link to the advice that I gave to him: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/The%20Hospital/67145.html?200512151151 Guppies are a bit different than rams but I would not treat fish based on a single symptom. I would watch the fish to determine multiple symptoms to try and determine their exact problem. You can go to Pandora's Aquarium, http://www.fishpalace.org/Disease.html, to get a great list of diseases, pictures and symptoms. I would raise your tank temp to the upper 70s or low 80s and add a tbsp of marine or sea salt for every 10 gallons of water as a non-invasive therapy. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
