I’ve had a mostly livebearer 29G for a bit over a year. I’ve lost four platies in that time, about one every three months or so.
No signs of ich, they just start swimming funny (sometimes clamped fins), and are dead the next day.
Water parameters are good - no ammonia or nitrites. Nitrates stay around 40, they never get lower due to being in our well water to begin with. I do a WC of 25-30% every 7-10 days and a 50% WC once a month.
