supasi Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi all I noticed the other day, my almost pure yellow male was clamping its tail. Yesterday i found him dead in the tank. Today i notice that another male is clamping. there are three other males in the tank that seem to be ok. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?????????

caserole Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I don't know what causes this, however I strongly advise you to immediately give the affected fish a salt water bath(2 Tablespoons of plain salt dissolved in 1 lt of water), remove fish once he starts to look uncomfortable and place him back in tank water.

Afrikan Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Have you introduced any new guppies into their tank recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Clamping is often a sign of stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
