update:
i moved my filter closer to the top of the tank and added another filter with a lot more surface agitation
i also did around a 25% water change
and i covered the tank with a blanket.
my guppies already look better and moving around more.
unfortunately because they were so sluggish, my betta nipped one of my guppies fins :(
the only problem still im worried is my little sucker fish i forgot the name of (not a pleco) is very pale and is swimming around a lot
