I was on vacation for almost a week in the beginning of January. I put one week feeders in all my tanks at work. I ended up coming home a few days early and I’m glade I did. I bought those white pyramid feeders and only one seamed to work.

In my 10 gallon tank I have 6 female guppies and 2 platys. Everyone looked great when I left. When I got back one guppy was dead and one platy. With in the next few days one guppy was floating funny, like its back end weighed a ton. Its still alive but having a hard time getting around. Yesterday one guppy, it sank to the bottom and laid side ways and died and now today there is another guppy doing the same thing as the one that died yesterday. Here are the results from the water test:

Temp is at 78 degrees
Ammonia .25
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 0
PH 7.6

I don’t know what is going on. I did a 25% water change yesterday. Any suggestions on what might be going on or what I should do?
