Ok, I'm baffled. One of my babies need help, and this one is beyond me.
This is a 5 gallon aquarium with only 5 baby guppies (about 1.5 months). It's had it's regular water changes, and the water is testing about average on PH and has very little ammonia, and no nitrites
4 of the guppys seem fine, but the 5th has been floating on his head for the past 2 days. He's alive, but his tail is straight up, even when he swims around (which he will with a bit of encouragement). I continually net him up to see that he's still alive, and he starts swimming again (head down).
He doesn't seem to have any visible marks, spots, bruises, cuts, infections, etc. He's just swimming funny and not eating.
What's wrong with him? What caused it? And what can I do for him and to prevent it happening to the others?
