Hello,

I saved these bunch of platys maybe two months ago, and am successfully raising 25 fry of the first one's pregnancy. The females were pretty much all pregnant when I got them. I am still setting up my hospital tank but one of my Platy is looking really sick and I thought my other was just pregnant but I am not so sure. She has been hiding a lot which made me think she was about to give birth but that has been going on for the last 4 days. The marigold male is always gasping for air and is moving really slowly. The pregnant wagtail is gasping but sometimes stop moving entirely which scared me so I opened the top and she swam around. Any ideas?ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422722774.760650.jpg ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422722840.646274.jpg ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422722860.747628.jpg

I tested yesterday and all the parameters were fine. All my other platys look fine. And I have the answer for my redwag. I found a couple new fry so she just took her time .

ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422832080.076220.jpg he is now in the hospital tank, I see no sign of ick anyways the water is around 80 so the virus probably would not survive. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422832482.854287.jpg he also has a spinal deformity. Could he be in pain? He is just gasping so much something is wrong I just don't know what... His colours are still very dim.
