I am sorry to hear you have an ill fish. With no obvious signs of a treatable illness there isn't much you can do.

>One of my male guppies that I have had for approx. 10 months (adult size when bought) has got very thin, and the past two days has been spending time isolated from the other 3 guppies hiding under a bridge. His colour is now fading, yesterday he was eating normally but today not. No sign of any obvious disease, except he might be a little more curved than he was, or this might be an illusion because he is thinner?

>0 Amonia/Nitrite/Nitrate, PH 8 (same as usual) havent got a tester for any other tests - 10% water changes every 3/4 days. The other three guppies appear to be fine, as do the other fish in the tank. Over the last week or so, have been removing blanket weed? (very fine string) wrapped in with some of the plants and quite a few plant leaves have been dislodged and a little cloud when disturbing the plants which might be relevant.
