4 Reasons Why Guppies Die

[@AQUAGUYUK]

I have been doing a lot of research and testing on live bearers including hybrid endler guppies to strengthen their DNA I now have 4th generation of guppies living up to 3 years with added supplements

[@DeaDiabola]

Thank you so much for this information!!! Really helpful information :3

[@kylegroth3199]

Very cool I've never had this issue even with 17 guppies in a little 5 gallon they lived 2-4 years with most at 3 years old.

[@damcmadlad2975]

Wouldn't they be sterile though

[@missxy8217]

​@@damcmadlad2975 no. Guppies and endlers are close relatives

[@mrnmarkyyy]

I tried crossbreeding my wild guppies that I caught to my guppies and become successful with it. And I really notice that the F1 fry are really more hardy than the normal domesticated ones. I was surprised tho. They are indeed inbreed so much that it takes their hardiness too.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

It’s so true hey

[@juicyjunior47]

Ok

[@StoneAquatics]

Would make sense with brand new genes to break the cycle of weak genetics

[@fizzypigeon2571]

When my giant danio got dropsy, I gave it several salt baths, but the ultimate factor was just time. Time in a tank where it wouldn't be bothered. It swam upside down for about 2 weeks, then slowly started getting back upright. He still has a little bit of a "limp", but I have him back in with his 9 brothers. Giant danios live considerably longer than guppies, but I thought that I'd share my experience in case it helps. Let the cripple swim around by himself in a hospital tank or fry box for a while before u give up on it. My danio was still accepting crushed flakes when he was upside down.

[@AQUAGUYUK]

Main reason is guppies can give birth every 28 days meaning they become calcium deficient and should have a supplement given

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Have never thought of this! Really good info

[@hidden7soul]

Thanks for the info 👍🏻

[@xmanu100]

making home made guppy food will help especially if you add spinach and also whole egg with the shell that will help in the calcium Deficiency.. also you can add chicken bone powder to the food mix helps

[@rionasera]

Super thankful for your information. I've been having trouble keeping common guppy's alive.

[@haleymariemooney8122]

I love guppies and really enjoyed this video!! Thank you for posting an updated vid!

[@azntactical4884]

My fancy guppies all doing great in my 20 gallon. Started with 5 males and 5 females. Now, I got a ton of fry swimming around. I hardly do a water change. I got plenty of plants, 3 pieces of wood, lava rocks, sand, a Hillstream Loach and cherry shrimps (currently breeding). I figured, if the shrimps are breeding (had 2 failed attempts prior in their own tank), the water is good.

[@akashgowda6895]

Man u explained better than my local pet store guy

[@claudiabenvenuto7941]

Hello! thank you so much for posting this video! I've in the fish hobby since November of 2019 so I'm fairly new. I first tried with betta fish and finally got the hang of handling those so I tried venturing out to guppies. I started off with 5 guppies and the last two just died this morning. My heart was broken! I was checking my water every day and didn't have any high levels of ammonia or nitrites and I made sure the water temperature was where it was supposed to be so I didn't know why they were just dying off. This video came up on my recommended page and I wish I had seen it earlier! I noticed my fish's poop was clear but I didn't think much of it, now I know they had an internal parasite and I'm so sad I wasn't able to catch it. I've already flushed all of the fish and I just finished a 100% water change to my tank but I'm scared the worms may still be in the tank. What would you recommend? Should I replace all of the gravel in the tank? Should I add the cleansers into the empty tank to kill whatever worms are left? I just want to prevent any further infection to the future fish I get. Thanks again for the video

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Don't replace the stuff in the tank, you've gotta kill the parasite. I'd recommend using a de-worming medication and treating the whole tank. Then repeat the treatment weekly for a couple of weeks to prevent the worms breeding

[@claudiabenvenuto7941]

KeepingFishSimple thank you so much!!

[@VanillaSaltedCaramel]

When my guppies died, i change my tank routine. Change water once a week, give them food once a day since im worried they might overfeeding, take care of my tank water level. But still they died 🙂 i guess maybe it just their time has coming and it happens to be when we already buy them 🙂 but the other types of fish still alive. Why only the guppies died 😫

[@azntactical4884]

Maybe not change water? I maybe do 3 or 4 water changes a year (gravel cleaning). My guppies are still kicking. I don't really care how clean my tank looks. I got plants, wood and rocks to take care of the water. My cherry shrimps are in the same tank and they are doing really good and breeding. I am not a big fan of buying fish from big chain stores as they are poor at fish keeping and pretty much share the same water. Independent stores tend to do a better job at that, but the price tag will be a bit more.

[@sharyngilding9525]

Thanks so much. I recently bought guppies from pet store and now they’re dropping like flies. 🙄.

[@duypham76]

Keep doing 30% water changes

[@tanis7731]

That happens most of the time. They could either be sick from the conditions of the pet store tank or die of stress due to the extreme change in water after you bring it home. That’s why pet stores like Petco and Petsmart have a 14 day replacement policy

[@sasfishadventures9729]

Levamisole does not kill worms it paralyses them so they pass out of the fish. You need to gravel vacuum them out and redose every week over 4 weeks

[@Madewholebynature]

I had a guppy 🐟 who died yesterday 😢 that is why I am here to watch this video to learn more about why guppies die

[@jackmcconachy2209]

I have had great success with guppies until I moved. I used to breed them non-stop, I found the water was quite soft at my new place and they all died off in a few months.

[@StoneAquatics]

My water is so soft they die within a week it’s so frustrating

[@istudios225]

That might be my problem too. After I moved, I used distilled water (zeroTDS) to set up a new tank and for water changes. They were okay in the beginning but soon started getting sick. One day, I noticed half of them had Ich. Treated them and the Ich went away. Then I noticed other symptoms. Tested pH and it was 6.4, not so good for guppies. Plants not doing too well either. Changed back to dechlorinated tap water. Tap water here is very soft. Added a bit of baking soda and then Epsom Salts. Fish seem a bit more comfortable but a couple still appear sickly. Could be worms... The battle continues.

[@JMILESN1]

Is it possible you are in closer proximity to a water treatment plant? There used to be a small but mighty aquarium shop in Pittsburgh who often warned me of potential spikes in chlorine and chloramine levels as they were located just a mile from a water treatment plant and would often have issues on days when the water got sanitized. Seachem makes a product called 'Prime' that neutralizes it, so I will add that to a bucket of water before topping off my tanks.

[@AaronSmith-su9ug]

All my guppies have died. Most start acting crazy swimming very erratically, straight up and down, the others eyes swelled up and it died. Everything says oh swim bladder but it's not. Idk what is going on

I have kept guppies for about a year. Started off with 10, 1 died about 3 month's later, then 1 last week as it had a little fleshy growth, am wondering if that was a parasite as its poo was white. The other original 8 are fine and added two babies who are loving the tank. I recycle the water regularly and just hope these ones stay healthy. Great advice, thanks👍

[@rhyanlumilay6317]

I agree that they are now became fragile, I have 6 guppies where 1 was still remains today. 4 of them dies suddenly, 1 died because he's lethargic and doesn't eat for few days so I euthanize it. I decided to buy 1 last month and died again because he's voracious and got dropsy. Now the 1 remaining hardy Guppy was lucky that I brought him 2 female along with 5 Mollies for a community tank.

[@alexroden1461]

I know what you mean I had eight male guppies and I only have four left they just died all of a sudden over the last month but they were only babies

[@JMILESN1]

@@alexroden1461 I clean my guppy filters at least once a week and change water immediately after the filter intake sponge and media get rinsed out. It's a bit of a pain but it only takes 5 minutes, and it really seems to stave off issues especially when a tank is slightly crowded!

[@una1600]

My grandma had a guppy problem, so I took some of her guppies. Now we both have a guppy problem. They won't stop giving birth. I took one with a crooked spine. She died early, rest in peace, Finduilas.

[@JMILESN1]

Unfortunately it seems that bent spines imply inbreeding and cannot be easily corrected by improved water quality. I have seen them survive for many months but rarely make it to adulthood.

[@opgaquatics5609]

Nice video, I don't keep guppies but it was entertaining.

[@krissiaosorio90]

[@Alvin-eq5rc]

I am new to this! After I added the de-chlorine solution to my tap water. Can I add fish right away or I should wait for a bit like a day or two before introducing the fish to the tank? Also, if I would love to introduce new fish, how long should they quarantine to make sure the fish is disease-free.

[@soumilghosh5156]

In 2 months, all 5 of my neocaridina shrimp that I bought from the aquarium 2 months ago(after 2 very unsuccessful attempts which created a mass die-off) are alive and healthy, but when I used to keep guppies, 2 died a day after I bought them

So I just bought 3 male guppies last night. I noticed that 1 had a hard time swimming in the bag I got sent home with. I took them home and acclimated them to my tank. This morning I checked on them and the one guppy wasn’t swimming well at all anymore. I isolated him to a small bowl but I’m not sure what is wrong. My tank had been filtering for 3 days. I did buy a live plant and added that last night to the tank as well. The other 2 seem fine, but I don’t think this guy is gonna make it.

I recently bought 2 male guppies and they both died within two weeks since I got them, one died 3 days ago and the other died just today.

my oldest guppy is a female. shes probly the best looking one i have and shes a absolute unit. shes almost the size of my golden ram cichlids, they arnt huge but shes way bigger than any other guppy i have by a noticable difference lol. when i got her i bought another female. after they both had a few batches of fry, the other female passed from what i think was some wasting disease. she got really thin and was swimming odd after a few weeks.

My guppies lived for 2 weeks each then would jerk sideways and float to the bottom.

Hi there .. I’m sad I’ve lost 4 fishes in recent 2 weeks, 2 guppies and 1 tetra . 2 weeks ago I moved house, because the fish tank is 160L, we used several big containers carried half of the water, and all fishes in one of the container ( stupid it is we did it)… and had to scoop all sand and pebbles then set up in new house after 2 hours.. basically substrate was fucked- I thought since it’s same substrate and water , shouldn’t be an issue … same day the tetra died… that was fm transportation.. and a few days later , noticed one guppy died… I blame stress and us being stupid the way we transferred them .. Then 3 days ago I saw one guppy is swimming slow without mouth opening , with a long thread looking thing near belly, took video, thought to ask fish shop- they suggested to check water quality , to eliminate possibilities - I came home that fish died… I couldn’t save him… 😢 And tonight my fav white guppy died , at the bottom , no skinny, no fat , just normal but mouth open … died and sank at the bottom… 3 days ago as other guppy died I checked water all seems fine … I had worse water before and only 1 died in 1 year .. and now I’m better with water management and having so many died … I may have issue with over feeding , I do 2 times a day… but I do that all the time … And I did gave some boiled peas and broccoli to them .. and I feel stupid and sad and helpless … but what can I do to not letting more die..

I have bought 10 guppies in one week. I bought 5, 3 died, i bought another five and 4 more died. Now I have 3, Im about to give up on guppies altogether. My temp is stable, perfect water perimeters, planted tank, my other tetra fish are doing brilliantly. I have slightly hard, and slightly high pH. Which apparently is where guppies prefer. I have a well cycled tank, even when they died not even a little ammonia spike. Yet, these fish seem to be the most fragile, fish that die for no reason at all. I give up on them honestly.

@@Alvin-eq5rc so I bought fry that I saw in my local aquarium store. I put them in a separate 2 gallon with a filter. They seem to be doing better than the adults I buy from the store. Maybe the problem is that you need to buy them young or buy a heavily pregnant guppy and collect the fry. My theory is that the fry adapt to the conditions and most of the adults die from shock/ transport. They also seem to be riddled with parasitic worms frequently. But if these fry start giving me issues as well, I will not be repurchasing guppies at all. I'm looking at gobis instead.

Hey guys, I have a weird case, wonder if anyone can help. I got guppies 3 days ago ,4 girls ,3 boys. But 1 male after a few hours started to swim against the stream near the snap back filter. I have the 6 gallon fluval edge . I had the water there over a month before getting them, added aqua safe and live bacteria. Water tested, the shopkeeper said it is text book perfect. So I’m confused. I didn’t overfeed. Only fed once. And that 1 male literally swam up yeh stream 24/7, not exaggerating, I watched it all day and he spent past 2 days swimming fas up the stream. He was very lively,looked really healthy,no deformations or spots,looked very health. Shopkeeper said he was only 3 weeks old. Anyone every experience this?Should I be worried for the other fish?

I recently started my own community tank, and added a group of guppies to it as well -- 4 females, 2 males. (Your gender ratio *should* be at least 2 females for every 1 male, to reduce aggression.) I had one female die overnight, from what I can only presume was shock from being moved into the new tank, but I've had no other mishaps with any of them. A few of my females are starting to look very pregnant now that it's been a few weeks, and they all seem quite healthy! When I first added them all to the tank, though, I noticed similar behaviour myself -- they spent the entire first evening swimming at the very top of the tank, against the bubbling current made by my air stone. I did a water change to make sure it wasn't high ammonia levels or something making them group at the water's surface, but they just kept swimming away. My best guess is it's just a part of guppies exploring their new environment! Some online forums I've read have suggested that they swim against the current to exercise and play. Makes sense enough to me, since all of mine are healthy and I haven't seen them do it since I first brought them home.

I now see this comment was made a YEAR ago, not a month ago.... Damn my poor reading comprehension, lol. Sorry about that!

@@jadeb.3332 thanks for the reply, it’s been a year since that happened, sadly after day 3 he passed,didn’t eat or anything,I presume it was stress due to moving and the died of exhaustion because he wouldn’t stop swimming against the current. But a year since the tank is great fully planted and doing well,many shrimp and baby guppies.

How do I get rid of brown algae in freshwater

[@opgaquatics5609]

Blackout the aquarium. Turn all the lights off and cover the tank completely for a few days.

Thank you

@@Hilt3 Amano Shrimp eat brown algae. Don't expect the algae will go away instantly, but over time it will help keep the algae levels down. 👍

[@leatherturtle8373]

Let me help you, DO NOT KEEP CRAYFISH WITH ANY FISH

[@Brock-Lesnar-WWE]

@@leatherturtle8373 crayfish is in a separate tank by itself...I put the guppy in there for just 1 minute so i can feed my other guppy because its causing to much trouble to my other guppies and shrimp then i was putting it back in its tank and all i see is the crayfish eating it alive. Saved it but half of its head got eaten off and its tail...

[@youngrocky5139]

Lol I have 2 fancy guppies with my crayfish and it doesn't attack the guppies for whatever reason but I'm wont be surprised if they get eaten.
