My guppy passed away today =*( i just dont know why?

Question

we found her at the top of the tank on her side struggling to swim. It almost looked as if her back we broke or something. She is in the tank with a male guppy who is smaller than her. They were both fine earlier today. So when we noticed her on her side. I went to get my brother and by the time we got back up stairs she was dead. What could cause a fish do this ?

Answer 1

She may have had a swim bladder problem.

Answer 2

My female betta died too, second day male died as well. Maybe your female guppy was pregnant(big belly?), because that was what happen to my female guppy, due to stress, it died with all fry inside her belly.

Answer 3

She could have died of stress. You need to have AT LEAST 2 females per male. He probably chased her so much that she got stressed and died. That happens a lot. Or when you got her she could have been old. When buying guppies you want to get the ones that are pretty small because that means they are younger.

I am sorry. I know how you feel. About 4 years ago I had a male guppy with 2 females and 1 other male. He was the last one who died and I was REALLY sad. He lived for 1 year and a half.

Answer 4

sounds like she had a air bubble in her stomach.

i am a guppy breeder and i have had a cupple but they were not guppeys there where neons and barbs. sorry to here the death.
