Guppy is swimming weirdly?

A few days before she gave birth, the guppy was swimming weirdly. I then put her in a half gallon bowl and a few days later, she had babies. I put her in another container and a day later, her body became slightly bent from side to side. Another fish had previously died and showed the exact symptoms before it died. Do they have fish tuberculosis or what?

Update:

They also start to eat less and their stomachs get flat

    the only form of fish which could stay in a 5.5 gallon tank is one betta. in case you needed, 3 guppies would have labored in this setup. yet with the style of fish you have you would be overstocked regardless of in case you had a 10 gallon tank. you will desire to return the hot fish and purchase a 10 gallon aquarium to domicile those guppies. in the different case, they'll merely die. likelihood is your ammonia has spiked from having a majority of those fish in a cramped area. not doing thorough study in the previous commencing an aquarium motives all styles of problems. i've got experienced rather some by using unfavorable study. Fishkeeping is extra sturdy than a great style of people think of!

    Its soooo hard to tell on fish. I could be a dozen things. If other fish did same and died I'm sure she will too. If u have any water treatments id try them and keep her and the babies away from ur other fish
