Aquarium Advice Activist
I have a Hi-Fin Platy who I have had for seven weeks. Recently we introduced a new platy, who at first seemed timid, and then turned into the terror of the aquarium. The new platy stalked my old platy. Would not let her swim...eat...anything. Everytime my old platy (Patty) came out of her corner to swim or eat, the new platy (Penny) would agressively chase her back. Eventually Patty began to physically changed. She has noticeably bloated and for awhile her poo was white. We removed to isolation the new platy, and Patty is once again excreting normally and swimming around happily. The trouble is that she is still terribly bloated. Is it stress...overfeeding...dropsy...or is she pregnant. How can I tell. I have tried to include pictures. I don't know if they will help. Sorry to be so long about this post. Coleallensmom or Fort...maybe you could help with this...or anyone else please jump in. I love this fish and am worried about her.
