Need help - Guppy has got black eyes all of a sudden!?

[Swiftrat]

Hi all.

I just checked on my fishtank and noticed my male guppy has suddenly got black eyes. Is this a bad thing?

I've seen the female guppy get black eyes before, but they returned to normal after a little while. I'm just wondering what these black eyes mean and what causes it?

40 minutes later and his eyes have returned to normal.

Weird...

Hi there

Sorry I'm not much help but I have also noticed that all of my 4 female guppies eyes have all gone completely black. I'm really worried and I can't seem to find any information about it anywhere! They seem to be behaving normally maybe just a tiny bit slowed down. I think it could be stress - As i just added 2 gouramis, 2 bristlenoses and 4 balloon mollys to what was previously a guppy-only tank. They seem to have lost their place in the tank. I hope it is just stress and they will get over it soon. I will let you know if I find out anything.

I just got a reply on another forum - apparently it's completely normal for guppies and nothing at all to worry about!....Phew!
