Medium Tank Update...
Things have been kinda weird in this 6 gal tank as well as I'm losing one guppy after another for no conceivable reason. At least with the 12 gal I saw signs of infection (fish losing balance, dropsy, etc.) but with this tank, I don't see anything abnormal until I find a dead fish. For the most part the guppies appear healthy, swimming around like crazy and eating. I've noticed that some (including the ones that have passed on) had these white splotches here and there on their skin though. Not sure if it's just abnormal skin patterning or some sort of fungus problem. It doesn't look like it's on top of the skin though, looks like the skin just lost it's color. I think there's only one guppy left in this tank with this problem but so far she's still acting fine.
Also lost one of the two young Japonica shrimp that I had introduced a week or so ago. Kinda surprising cause in my experience Japonica shrimp are usually pretty hardy. The remaining one seems to be doing ok still though.
