Help my guppy is very sad i don't............?

Question

i don't know what happened but since i bought the fish after a few hours it stared to hide under a stone at first i taught it was stuck so i removed the stone after a few minutes i noticed that it was missing again and i found out that it was under a different stone i taught that it was laying eggs but guppies don't eggs is that true ??? and if it is not laying eggs than whats wrong with it HELP....

Answer 1

i think it is just scared/nervous about being somewhere new, they just take time to settle in. like when you get a new house, it feels strange to start with.

Answer 2

Guppies dont lay, they birth live young, repeatedly from one insamination, but if its got a big bright tail and a slim head its most likely a boy guppy. where is he kept,enough space? give him a place to hide it might be too bright,a plant or two wouldnt goo amiss, they suply air,though I always recommend an air bullble disperser, and a heater...this is getting to be a lot isnt it. Once I had a depressed guppy, would eat until I bought him a goldfish for company, then he was fine....good luck

Answer 3

Is it the only guppy in the tank?  Guppies like to be with other guppies.  In fact, our pet store recommended 4 females to 1 male guppy for the proper ratio.  And no they do not lay eggs, they are live-bearing fish.  Are there other larger fish in the tank?  The guppy may just be hiding for fear of being eaten.

Answer 4

hey my fish like yours is sad two its a small white gourami and it tends to hide under objects inside the tank. i think its because it is lonly since its male and female friends died. perhps try getting it another guppy the same as urs u might find that it wil be much happier with a companion. also my big silver doller fish lost its two copanions and ever since then its been a compleatly differant fish
