can anyone tell me the signs for a stressed guppy? i bought 6 yesterday, one died overnight(probably before i went to bed due to a short head count). tonight, i've noticed one just hanging around the top, not moving much, almost like he is sleeping. water quality is good. i'd done a pwc of about 30% a few hours before introducing the new fish. ammonia and nitrites were 0 ppm and the nitrates were about 15ppm. temp 25C. there are no physical signs of trauma apart from the slightly ragedy tails which i'm putting down to the nipping of each other in an over crowded tank(in the shop where i bought them that is). even then, in the 24hrs i've had them, that is shownig signs of improvement. when i introduced them into the tank, the white clouds that i have did give a bit of a chase, which gave me a bit of a concern, but after a short while, things settled down and everyone just got on with their own thing.
thanks
