We have a 29G tank of mostly platies. My son built them a “house” out of legos and put it in the tank, against my wishes.
A male platy tried to swim through an opening and got stuck. I got him freed, but during the process, his head and gill area got rubbed pretty raw, and somehow a big chunk of his tail broke off, and is floating in the tank. I’m guessing an aggressive male molly (the bully of the tank) or one of the serpae tetras took advantage of his compromised position.
He is swimming oddly and very stressed. I don’t know how long he was stuck. Is he likely a goner?
The one picture is actually the piece of his tail.
