Hey,
I have a recently set up tropical tank. I got three guppies on saturday, and they were all eating fine. However yesterday and today when I went to feed my guppies, one of them would eat and then spit the food out. He hasn't eaten in two days. The other guppies are eating fine. What could be wrong?

What are you feeding them on? Have you tested your water for ammonia and nitrites at all?

i also heard that if a guppy had a lost of appitite then she might even be pregnant and not have the gravid spot and about ready to drop! So you never know! you might want to keep an eye out for fry!
Was it seperated from the males becuase if not she could very easily be pregenant and even if she was not she still could be becuase they can hold the sperm for up to 6 batches of fry or something like that!
Hope i was some help!

Hey,
It's okay

He's acting a bit different to, my other fish are swimming together and he's just hanging out by himself at the top of the tank. Any suggestions?

is he the only male becuase if so he might need another male to swim aorund with! he might be the boy that was left out of the girls group talk becuase they were talking about him!

hope that helped! maybe he is sick!
