my 37 gallons have been sucessful for years. but in the last week, every morning, i find 2 to 3 dead guppies.
let's talk about the set up. it have 30 pounds of gravel, penguin 200 and sponge filter, 2 dwarf water lily, about 20 fake plants, fluorescent light that came with tank, and heater set at 80 degree. i do a 3 gallons water change every 3 days.
i don't usually have dead guppies. every time one die, i do a 3 gallons water change. so this week i've had 4 water changes. tested the water yesterday: zero ammonia, zeno nitrite, minimal trace of nitrate, 1.009 salinity, pH 7.2
i feed them once a day. they look and eager to eat, but no one's belly is bulging except the pregnant females.
the dead fishes show almost no sign of illness at fist. but now i'm starting to see it. they're looking grim and thin, mouth appear to be open and gasping, bulging eyes, white stringy poops. this morning, i found 2 dead with a red bleeding spot at the belly.
looking through guppies disease list, can't seem to pin point any. could it be 2 diseases i'm battling? i've quarantine all the sick guppies into a 10 gallons running 50% water from another healthy 10 gallons and 50% new water with a filter i took out of my endler tank that have 3 filters running.
