What is wrong with my guppy?

Winter_Rose · Feb 28, 2016

I've just noticed that of my female guppies is lying at the bottom of my tank. She's moving her fins and mouth. The other guppies are fine, swimming about happily. Is there anything wrong with her or is she just resting?

I am not an expert on fish, so I can't say for sure, but it is a good sign that she is upright, and breathing. On the other hand, something is not right. I am afraid only time will tell on this one.

Also I fed them a couple of minutes ago, all of them dashed to the food apart from her.

That confuses me as they all go to sleep at the same time. There's a lamp on my tank that I turn off when I go to bed.

You're right; they tend to go to sleep at the same time; maybe it's not sleep.

I have an ornamental log at one side of the tank, she swam inside, out of one of the holes and back to her position.

Oh so she is still going up and about, so to speak. This is a good sign, I guess.
