Hey Aiken Drum!! Hope all is well. I had the blue fish that was bullied in a separate tank for a bit, but then it seemed lonely so it gave it a friend. Then the blue fish started picking fights with the new fish. I've attached a video so you can see what was going on. This is fighting right? All...

Hey @Aiken Drum!! hope all is well. I actually ended up switching everything to a new 20 gallon about two weeks ago and used a different substrate and the issue just never came back. Since I noticed that everything was stable, I decided to add 3 platys to the original 2 platys, but I have run...

Hey @Aiken Drum hope all is well! My last two fish are doing well and they seem healthy. I've been trying to keep them alive by using Prime and Stability, but I have noticed a strange cotton-like thing start developing over the past day or two and it seems like it is becoming more prevalent...

This morning 2/8, I checked the tank and I saw the poor panda platy dead. I did a 50% water change since it looked like ammonia had risen to about 0.2 ppm. I also skipped feeding this morning because I think it might help keep the ammonia down. Is it bad to do a 50% water change twice a day...

Oh, here's a pic of the gray fish that passed. She didn't get any better and it looks like the white spots never went away, or even budged. The panda platy is the one that I think is getting sick now. When I look closely at the end of its back fin, it looks like its rotting away and I saw her...

The fish did not make it :cry:Heres a timeline of what happened: 1/31: 5ml Imagitarium Parasite Remedy, increased the water to 28c (the tank is still at this temperature) 2/1: 5ml Imagitarium Parasite Remedy 2/2: 50% water change + 5ml Imagitarium Parasite Remedy 2/3: 5ml Imagitarium...

Yes of course, here is a picture. I am feeding the fish this morning and their appetite seems ok. This fish seems to be the only one with white spots. She's also the one who has been breathing hard at the top of the tank. All of them have white/clear stringy poo.

I did a 50% water change today and added aquarium salt, as well as Imagitarium parasite remedy. It was the only thing I could find at the store. Today unfortunately one of my fish started breathing heavily and is staying at the top of the tank. She also has white spots on her tail fin, so I am...

Thank you for all of your help! How much water and how often do you think I should do the water changes? Also, do you think any additional products can help help them? Or would that be harmful to the fish since there is already salt in the tank?

I got my first pair of platy fish on 1/20 (panda and a mickey) and the panda died on 1/26. He was always hanging around in the corner and then one day he went berserk and started swimming like crazy, thirty seconds later he started mindlessly floating around, then died, but the mickey was fine...

I thought freshwater was the same as salt water. I honestly didn't even know there was a difference. I just got my tank, put some water in it, and I guess it just became fresh water? Hahaha idk

I noticed that my platties are rubbing themselves against the edge of the heater. They do it every once in a while when they get close to the heater. Why are they doing this? Should I be worried? I have attached a video to show what they are doing. https://youtu.be/abSB7njRVTA Some...
