HI. I have this female guppy that is somewhat lethargic and seems to have difficulty swimming. She stay in one spot most of the time and just treds there. It seems like she wants to move around but she can't like she doesn't have the energy. Some times she squirms her body like a snake to try and oush herself. This is making it difficult for her to eat. She has no physical symptoms that I can see (no signs of fin rot/injury or fungus), however her scales went from a whitish pale color to a a darker color. I don't know if it is the color of her scales or there could be some sort of parasite there???? Her poop is white and stringy. I have already treated her with 2 rounds of maracyn 1( bc I thought it might be bacterial) but now I am thinking it could be a parasite. She's been like this for two weeks, so it can't be anything that kills quickly. Any Ideas??? Should I treat her with coppersafe and maracyn 2? Could she be just fine? My water conditions are all stable. The tank is cycled and not over crowded. Thanks a lot for any suggestions.
