I'm not sure what's wrong. Perhaps if you post some pics or a video we could tell what the problem is.

hey bayou you mean when the guppys hit your bass water? your guppys in an unheated tank? If so its shock of temp change. had that happen myself.

Ya just clean out a 2 liter bottle and cut the top off let them float for a while in the bass tank.plus it gets the bass exited!

You could also just raise the temp of your guppy tank. Or, if you are dropping them in straight from the fish store, it would be a better idea to get a tank for them to quarantine them.
