Ki-Saber Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have a male guppy in my Aquarium that is doing some weird things. One thing that is interesting is yesterday he had a completely different color. His black spots are really black and his red spots are quite red too. Today he looks bloated as well and is having some difficulties swimming.. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a common way of death in guppies?

Caper Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 When you say bloated, do you mean as in the pinecone effect, scales sticking out??? Could you post a pic? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantezGirl Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 speaking of guppys sorry to hijack the thread but when do they mature? i have 4 that were quite young when i got the say nearing a month ago im guessing i have two males as there tails are pretty and are getting colour and two females as they are bland? any way the biggest of the fish and i suspecr female looks gravid could young males be that quick to get her preggnant if she is? will see if i can get pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I suspect some guppy fry of getting pregnant before being born Yes the males are very quick and can tell the females from the males before you can 8) Sexing guppies is easy as the males have the modified anal fin (called a gonopodium) which is longer and pointed. In females the anal fin is short and rounded. Males are more colourful. Ki, your male may have a digestion problem. Any other fish having problems? Is he worse just after eating?
