hm.. have any pic to post on the setups for your fish tank which u keep the guppies???So that everyone can see what wrong setups u made that cause the problem.
One thing very important about buying from LFS. Always put them into a qurantine tank before u actually mix them with your home guppies.
Qurantine tank water consist of 50% of your Fish tank(the one which u keep your home guppies) 50% of it is your LFS water which stores the guppies.
Add in some salt.Don't need to add water conditioner(some said need to add water conditioner. Those waters that u used have already contained water conditioner unless too rich to waste water conditioner its ok).
Keep them for like 1 day in the qurantine before putting it into the main tank with the home guppy.

Hehe you are not alone!

Guppy poses the greatest challenge in my fish keeping record. Never before I faced with so many deaths in a short time. My previous challenge was discus where I had to give up (in the schooling days) because unable to replenish the stock since it's sooo expensive even for a mediocre discus.

Luckily LFS guppies are quite cheap. If not I might have burnt almost 1k in my pocket. Still trying......so hope you to!!!!

hi, quite sometimes not here. I just like to advice you not to use hanging type water filter in guppy tank, especilly those size within 1 to 2ft. I'd recommend you to use sponge filter or undergravel filter, this work more effectively in guppy tank.

Regarding your sick guppy.. I'm sorry. I believe your fish is stressed, probably b'coz of deliver them into new tank which water condition totally so much different with the previous tank. It could be temperature, pH, kH, etc. It is hard to cure when the fish turn to that situation. See ur luck.
