Omaria Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 it is moving very slowly but stays right below the water surface. Any ideas? I cant tell diff between platy and guppy yet, its an orange one, but the other orange fish looks diff so one is a platy and the other a guppy. What would cause him to move so close to the top?

Southerrrngirrl Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Didn't you have a similar problem with a platy? (Edit: just checked - you weren't sure what that fish was either) He could just be resting or he might be not feeling well. Really is hard to say without being given any other symptoms or water conditions etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishBen Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Some fish will sit at the surface and gulp air if there isn't enough oxygen in the water, are the gills red? enough surface agitation in your water? Also, pregnant guppys stay near the surface of the water when they are close to giving birth (in my experience), usually around the filter power head or something similar, they also move a lot less. I don't know if it applies to you, just trying to help Pregnant guppy \/ http://www.liveaquaria.com/images/articles/a_pregnant_34806P_004.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
