How are the other fish in the tank? Have you tested the water and what were the results?

If the other fish are doing fine, maybe it was being harassed as Telboy says, or maybe it was just one of those things. Guppies can be quite delicate now.

Default Guppys

Hi Telboy,l had the female an a seperate tank in the main tank so the lads would not bully her but she died in the small tank....you males have a lot to answer to...haha! at the moment l,ve got mollies and four male guppys and three females,so maybe l should put some of the lads in a seperate tank.
Cheers Telboy....
