thanks!

but they never fight. i did a 25%water change.i hread that light is good 4 them so i turned it on and i think it (the guppy)improved by 9% . idont want it to die.

Answer 1

The water change was a good idea to start getting the water back in good shape. A few more water changes may be needed before it's back the way you want it. There are several conditions that can cause a bent spine like you are seeing, unfortunately there isn't anything you can do about it. Just keep her comfortable and well fed and she may live for quite some time yet.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what you want to know here... how did it happen? Well chances are since there are other guppies in the tank, they may have been fighting, maybe the male was trying to breed with it... maybe it got slammed into the side of the tank by one of the other guppies. I mean it could have been several things, probably one of the other guppies though.

Answer 4

Females are generally bigger and very plain looking. That black should be more in her stomach area and she will get plump or boxy looking. don't worry, ven if you had no males, she was exposed at one time to a male and live bearers can store sperm and have fry without a male present. Just wiat and see if she gets fatter.
