sick guppy

One of my female guppies is looking strange. She has like in no belly. Is this a sicknes or wil it pass? She looks like she is Anorexic.

 

She looks really really bad though, think beyond the point of return.
I have come across this before, I netted the fish, treated accordingly with ParaGaurd in a QT and upped the temp to 29. Also supplied with Daphnia, Bloodworm and BS as you want to get the fish stronger. Be sure to do daily WC as well and to take out any uneaten foods.

Good luck

 

Thanks Hein, do you maybe know what causes this? Because she eats good just like the other guppies, I do feed them Blood worms and flake food and she loves it but she looks like this. All the other guppies are fat and healthy. Thanks for the advice!!!

 

I don't mean to be a pessimist but this happened to a few of mine and they never recovered. Hope she does...

 

Glad to say it seems my guppy is making a recovery. She's starting to get a tummy again and looks like she has more energy again. I don't think she's out of danger , so I'm still holding my fingers crossed for a full recovery.

 

Have you done anything "special" for her? I have 1 or two in my tank at the moment that look like this so always interested.

 

Hallo Hawk, no still struggling to get the medican that Hein24 recommended(I live in Koffiefontein). But it looks like shes going to make it. She still has a long way to go but shes looking much better. her body is filling up nicely. But yes lets hope she will be pulling through.

 

Amanda, try the rooibos treatment, this is also a great way to boost a fish's immune system. Just get normal rooibos, add the teabag to the tank. Leave it in there for a day or two. Good luck.
