I bet it does! I'll move her to my hospital tank with her mate. They might get down a boogie romantically but that's cool. Better pretty it up for her though.. :)

So she dropped her fry when she was with the male? Interesting! I would have thought being harassed by the fella would have had the opposite effect. Hmm I have a spare tank I might pop her in there - I have a feeling the other fem guppy chases her at times. Maybe that's the issue? The other...

Thanks Guys. This tank is "full" of guppies and platy fry. Good pick up on my brain fade there , of course it's a guppy. I just had a black jacketed platy momma who dropped about 12 fry in the tank which seems to hold my attention at the moment! My water changes are ev 4 days keeping nitrates...

Hi all, I have a fem platy who's been in my tank for a couple of months. Her tank mate and her were both impregnated around the same time, (male removed shortly after). The other female has dropped several rounds of fry with no problem. This platy however has grown quite large and at one point...

Well... It turned out to be fungus. One day it looked like spots (admittedly larger than dust or small spots), the next a furry forehead. I realised he was in bad shape, took a punt with change of med.. But may have caused him further grief so he died. Remaining fish doing well.. Touch wood.

What app are you using? I'm using an app to keep track too, although I like the visuals you're showing.

I euthanised the platy in the pictures above, she was dying because she could barely swim for food :( A male platy is in another isolation tank and has developed some some spots.. Thus I assume ich. The problems began with fish flashing, but until now hadn't seen any white spots. So that's...

It's def interesting. Let us know how those work out!

I know I need to google PAR readings... But in the meantime, I'd say you won't need the API tab, does it kill bacteria? And I know what mean about not wanting to change the "known" quantity!

All good. Didn't mean to turn this post into something else.

Lol!! I went to the beach today and picked out some limestone/ calcium carbonate type rocks for my tanks - all 4 need hardening. Can't update you on the fish yet - although the worming treatment has knocked momma platy around. Water change today to clear some of the mess will help her

Never mind - response removed.

Well.. I'm wondering if the water hardness is the issue, although the tanks have held this water for some time, 7-8 months. The salt has helped the mood.. Lol. So have a KH+ to add slowly.. But that's an aside I think. I've restarted melafix in three tanks, and praziquantel as a Hail Mary in...

To clarify, I was making the point that there's a positive to the op's post. it's good to hear of a recovery like this rather than just pointing out all the flaws of the situation. Facts are fine, and I don't disagree with you, but if someone's coming on here to share their experience -...

Thanks guys. Yesterday I added some salt. Just a little to start with and an increase in temp. I checked my fish "stuff" cupboard and found some KH+ which I might slowly add to the main tank, (our water is soft for the live bearers at 2-3dH for KH and 4-5dH for GH) Looking at the Heximita -...

Well, irrespective of the above post - thanks for sharing. It's good to see such s great recovery!

Possibly fungus.

Melafix, then Myxazin then Protozin - they don't reveal ingredients on the bottle.. Also, I have been water changing well between medications and giving a few days or more respite before anything new. Today I thought I'd just up temp from 25 to 26/27 degrees and add a little salt. I.e. A...

Please note the pictures are of the worst affected who is now in a seperate smaller tank, same conditions

Hi all, I have a 60lt tank with. A couple of platies and guppies and a few fry. I change water 1-2 a week and keep levels as follows 0 - nitrite 0 - ammonia 30- 60 nitrate I since returning from Christmas holidays I've been dealing with a few illnesses and a death. More recently I've notice a...

Wow, glad you figured it out!

He was beautiful, sorry for your loss

Looking lovely, I love Ponyo

Sounds like you're onto it! Welcome to the site! My only thought, and I may be corrected by those with more experience, is that temp is really warm for the goldfish, but right for the catfish. I guess cater for the catfish, goldie sounds like he might be pretty hardy!
