spaz (the fish) died this morning so my roommate and i are upset. We had an airstone and a filter. There was still no ammonia or high pH in the water and the water temp was about 72. His water was perfectly normal. And we did a partial water change yesterday when I vaccuumed the gravel. He wasnt in the tank when we changed it. I put him in a temporary bowl with the water from his tank just like you are supposed to. And we changed out just a little over half of his tank water, added chlor-out, let it sit for about 10 minutes so no chemicals would harm him,even though the chemicals I use are all supposed to be fish friendly. A friend of ours was up here and he owns several fish and he can't figure it out either. However, he did not eat at all in the three days that we had him, so we think now that he was sick to begin with, but we aren't sure. We are going to get another fish today when we go, which will probably be another guppy. Any suggestions? Is this a individual fish problem, or maybe a tank problem? R.I.P Spaz

the water temp is about 70, the pH is normal and there is no ammonia...the air stone is working just fine, but now he is just swimming right near the top of the bowl. i have no clue what is going on...maybe he is lonely...but my roommate and i don't want another fish. any suggestions?

Hello, I am a new guppy owner and I was wondering why my male guppy is freaking out? He has a nice sized tank and no tankmates...but he swims around like crazy!!! is he looking for a female to court with? He has been swimming so crazy we have named him spaz! I am concerned though because I had a minnow one time that committed suicide and jumped out! He's a beautiful fish, I just would like to know how to calm him down! Any help is appreciated! Thanks
