CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

I have just purchased 4 different guppies to breed to use as feeders. 1 of them died the first day and i noticed after the second or third day that one of them (female) had a bloody mouth and throat, and also had blood that was visible within the body along the spine. Any Idea what this is all about or what has caused this? Should i remove this fish?

Thanks in advance!
By the way I also failed to mention that this fish is still under warranty, and if it is going to be hard to get it better i can replace it for free and dont have to have it go on suffering.

Sounds bad if it bleeding internally
Id say take it back and get it replaced.

Hope your not feeding oscars feeder fish

hehhe nope not yet. I am going to wait until I get them bred and then make sure that they dont have any diseases with their offspring and then feed their offspring (after making sure that they are healthy) I currently dont have any oscars My jag died last week when the power went out and my oscar died several months ago. I am waiting to get a larger tank to put the o's in and then i am going to get a couple or three. It should be alright to use feeders that I have bred myself shouldnt it? If i just feed them sparringly as a treat?
I thought that I have read that before. Currently I just have convicts and guppies, and I am currently cycling my 30 gallon tank to start out with a saltwater tank. I am planning on feeding the baby guppies and cons to the saltwater fish and also to Oscars when I get them.

I just thought that I would see if anyone has ever seen or heard of anything like this happening.

Maybe Adams exellent disease book could show some light on it.
Nothing I can think off the top of my head.

Sorry about your Jag and oscar, that sux losing fish
