Guppy floating may be due to lack of oxygen, although the guppy's demand for oxygen is not high, but if the water is not changed for a long time, it will also lead to a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the tank. Therefore, it is better for breeders to take oxygen in time and change water regularly and quantitatively. It may also be gill rot disease, the main cause of which is bacterial infection caused by long-term unclean water. In this case, the breeder can first raise the temperature in the fish tank, then add a small amount of coarse salt and burst oxygen, and wait for them to recover.
What is the situation of guppy floating and how to solve it?

One, anoxic

1, reason: Guppy is right the demand of oxygen is not high, so general inside the aquarium without oxygen pump also can normal life. However, if the water is not changed for a long time or the feeding density is too high, it will lead to hypoxia. When the guppy lacks oxygen, it will swim to the surface of the water, open its mouth to breathe, and in serious cases, it may jump into the tank.

2. Treatment: The breeder can first reduce the feeding density and raise the guppies in separate tanks. Then change the water regularly and quantitatively, 1-2 times a week, and the amount of water changed each time is one third of the total amount of water. If you don't have time, you can choose to install an oxygen pump and filtration system. This will reduce the number of water changes, which can be changed once a week or two weeks.

2. Gill rot disease

1. Cause: Guppy gill rot disease is mainly caused by parasites or bacterial infection. The main cause of gill rot disease is unclean water quality or improper feeding. The symptoms of the disease are slow reaction, loss of appetite, swimming alone on the surface of the water and so on.

2. Treatment: When the symptoms are not serious, you can choose to raise the water temperature, add coarse salt to the fish tank, and then explode the oxygen. During this period, water should be changed frequently and the state of sick fish should be observed. If the symptoms are serious, you can choose to take a medicated bath with erythromycin, furacilin or gentamicin for 30 minutes each time, and it will be effective after a week.
