Whats the reddings of your tanks mate? |

Are you sure its not a rummy nose and not a guppy?  |

Seriously though, i have just had lots of guppy losses.
The best treatment seems to be putting salt in the water. Get some aquarium treatment salt from the LFS, its about £1.20. Make sure that if you have any other fish that are not guppies they are okay with salt in the water. |

water is 7 on the tests and I always add a bit salt with every water change |

Have you tested nitrite?
What else is in the tank with them? |

How old is your tank set up, have you recently changed or amended your filter and what is your amonia reading? |

will test, tank about 2-3 month old, same filter |
