Answer 1

Did any of the people even read your question before answering it?
They probably have something wrong with their swim bladder. here is a bit of info on swim bladder disease

Swimbladder: This is a disease that affects the fish’s swim bladder. Swimbladder disease is sometimes caused by deformed bladder, parasite infestation, bacterial infections or constipation.
Symptoms: Fish swim side-ways or rest on bottom and can't go to surface. Loss of balance and/or abnormal swimming
Treatment: This is also a hard disease to treat; there is also a product around called Paragon II by Aquatronics® that supposedly aids in treatment of swimbladder disease. Raise the temperature; add appropriate medication for swim-bladder. Note this is a disease that is rarely curable.
Treat with Melafix every fortnight and salt everyday and a water change everyfortnight... not the same day as putting in the Melafix. Feed Hikari Betta Pellets.

Answer 2

I go away mine in there. as long as you keep the others nicely fed A tiny bit 3 or 4 x's an afternoon you may want to not lose too many. be constructive no longer to overfeed or you'll pollute your tank with roting food. make constructive they have a lot of places to hide. flowers or breeding grass on the accurate floor and bottom. i exploit pretend flowers for ours. also be constructive you examine your dirty water bucket at the same time as cleansing the tank. no remember how frustrating you're attempting you may want to suck up some. they prefer getting interior the way of the siphon.

Answer 3

For them to be dying that quickly and suddenly it sounds like a water quality problem, possibly a contamination recent to the tank. I would do a big water change and then check all the water conditions you can and look for a trouble spot.

Answer 4

My experiences, buy more water plants and decoration stones that has small hiding areas for babies to hide from others...Guppies will eat other fish too including their own...

Answer 5

they sell little screen breeding containers that you keep the fry in it hangs right in the tank, and it keeps the guppys safe untill their the right size to let go in to a community tank,

Answer 6

Try grinding their food into a fine consistency so they get their tiny mouths on it.
