I think you tank could have been overloaded. Have you had the water peramiters tested lately/ It you had an outage for that long there is a very good posibility that the tank was recycling again. Do you have a product for cycling if so use it as per instructions. If you can not do a full water test take a good sample to your LFS as soon as possible.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Emily,

Guppies are generally very hardy, but they are also short lived fish. The white on the belly of one fish may have been caused by bacteria or by a fungus after the death of the fish.

Unfortunately, you have not given any indications of your water quality such as ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH or hardness. Nor did you indicate if the guppies had any symptoms of a disease before they died.

I like the fact that you are changing the water, but your statement that you did a "tank clean" made me think. Is a "tank clean" mean vacuum and wipe down the interior or does it mean something more?

Since the power was out, keep a close eye on your fish. Keith was right when he said that it may cause a "mini-cycle". If the last two fish died after the power outage, then it may be an indication that water conditions after the outage may have contributed to the deaths.
