I've had a trio of albino red lace delta guppies for about a month now. About a week ago, all of my Pogostemon helferi melted, but the rest of my plants remained fine. No ammonia spike or anything, nothing was changed other than I started doing water changes with distilled water rather than tap.
Over the past 2 days, I've noticed the tail on the male guppy is getting frayed, like fin rot. Not white. It's clear.
I tested the ammonia again, still 0... I don't know why this would happen like a month after I got them. They've been fine so far.
Another thing I noticed which points to ammonia issues (which is impossible) is that one of the females goes up to the top and takes large gulps of air. I don't know why this is either because as I said, ammonia is 0.
I don't have anything to test nitrates/nitrites but the tank has been set up for two months. The plants are growing rapidly in it.
The three guppies are the only fish in the tank... What could be a possible cause of this? .-.
I've been doing weekly (sometimes every 3-5 days) water changes with distilled water. The tank was set up initially with tap water, which I use and have used for all fish tanks I've ever had since I was like born.
