Answer 4

Is your tank cycled? What do you mean a tank of guppies. Did you just put a whole bunch of them in at once. If you did, that is why they are dying. Look up the nitrogen cycle, you need to cycle your tank. Fish need to be introduced one at a time over the course of a few weeks because their p**p and other waste produces ammonia. Ammonia Kills fish QUICKLY. As the tank build beneficial bacteria, the ammonia will be converted to nitrites and then nitrates. The is the cycle and will take about a month to complete.

DO NOT remove all of the water and scrub the tank down. This will kill off any beneficial bacteria that has started to build and will start the process over again. If you think there was an infection of some sort then maybe once they all die you could start over but I think it is more likely that your fish are dying from ammonia poisoning and you need to cycle your tank. Unless you are sure there was some infection, just do a 20% water change for now and READ about the nitrogen cycle.

Read up on the nitrogen cycle and GO SLOW.
