The guppies swim with their heads up, probably because of lack of oxygen. At this time, it is necessary to open the oxygen pump immediately and give it oxygen. It may also be caused by gastroenteritis in guppies. At this time, change the water immediately. At the same time, white tablets should be used for treatment. It may also be caused by guppies infected with saprolegniasis. At this time, guppies need to be washed with a one-millionth of malachite green solution every day. The soaking time is 20 to 30 minutes.
What reason is guppy head is worn vertically swim, how to treat?

1. Lack of oxygen

1. Reason: When the water temperature exceeds 28 degrees, guppies are prone to hypoxia. From the external performance, the guppy is breathing, that is, swimming vertically with its head up.

2. Treatment method: At this time, it is necessary to immediately oxygenate the fish tank. According to experience, guppy hypoxia occurs mostly in summer, so special attention should be paid to water temperature in summer. If the water temperature exceeds 28 degrees, oxygen should be given to the fish tank intermittently. If the water temperature is over 30 degrees, oxygen should be used all day. In this way, the oxygen in the fish tank can be guaranteed to the maximum extent, and the guppy will not suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

2. Infected with gastroenteritis

1. Reason: After the guppy is infected with gastroenteritis, if it is not found in time, it will be infected with the swim bladder. When the swim bladder is infected, it loses its buoyancy and balance, and the head will face upstream.

2. Treatment: It is necessary to use white tablets for treatment. Dilute the big white slices according to the instructions, and then put the guppies in for maintenance, which can be cured in about a week.

3. infected with saprolegniasis

1. Reason: After guppies are infected with saprolegniasis, there will be a situation of clipping the tail, that is, the head is upstream.

2. Treatment method: At this time, it is necessary to soak the guppies with one millionth of malachite green solution every day. The soaking time is about 20 minutes each time. It can be relieved in about three days.
