    Last night I notice that my guppy's body become bent (not straight when i see him from the top) and he is not active anymore and stay at the bottom of the tank and does not eat. What kind of disease is it? How can I cure or prevent that kind of disease?

    Here's the link to your answer. Click >Here<

    From: Guppies.com
    Rickets
    A disease caused by a deficiency of calcium or phosphorus or vitamin D; one, two or all three. A crooked spine and the resulting bend in the fish's body is the usual evidence, although the unfortunate humpback can live and even reproduce. It is not a pleasant sight among the fishes of the aquarium.
    Proper lighting can prevent D deficiency; the active rays affect ergosterol in the skin of the fish and change it to the irradiated form which is vitamin D. Sometimes whole aquariums will show bent spines but generally only a few of the fishes are affected. There is no treatment; it is all a matter of prevention which is primarily a matter of proper feeding of a complete diet.
