Need help with sick male guppy

[Lisamarie]

I have a fancy guppy (male) who appears to be sick. He alomst looks like he has a prolapsed rectum, and his color's are fading. He was yellow and black but now his yellow is almost faded completely. He has a decreased appitite, is not interacting with the other fish as much. All the other fish seem to be completly normal.

Has anyone had this type of problem before, and have any tips on treatment?

okay.....dont know exactly what his problem is...but here goes my 5 cents worth.....

If it were my fish I would do the following...do an immediate 30% water change...and do so every day for a few days...also...up the temperature a little bit...and lastly...I would feed him some garlic...bcause I am wondering if he does not perhaps have a parasite??....failing that...I dont know..

i agree with gem 30-40 % per day for about a week or so

i used to breed guppies for a few years but i never had a problem that sounds like that, how long have u had him for?
