It doesn't sound like a 'stress' related problem. :) Waiting a little while is probably the best thing to do. I thought I saw a white 'cloudyness' on the fish's side, but I wasn't sure if it was just the video. If there is a uniform white film on the body of the fish you could have 'velvet'...

Well, you've done everything right so far! Good job!! I've seen this behavior before and it generally occurs due to some sort of stress. Basically it could be a symptom of a great number of problems w/ the fish. The good thing is the other platies look perfect, so no "tank wide" problem...

Hi, Can I keep a SINGLE labidochromis caeruleus (yellow lab) in a 20 gallon long tank? No tank mates just ONE labidochromis caeruleus. Will s/he get lonely or something? Would it NEED tank mates? I know it may be a silly question, but honestly I can't find an answer. Thanks. PS. I...

Don't worry about it. :) I just hope my fish aren't infected.

Seems like the thing to do.

Never mind. The answer is NO.

I've read that you can kill camallanus worms if you turn up the temp to 90 degrees Fahrenheit for awhile. Is this true?

I bought a fish from my LFS and I think he had Camallanus Worms!! I quickly removed him from the tank (within 24 hours). It has been 2 weeks since. None of my other fish are showing symptoms (I think). Is everything ok? Is the tank safe?? PLEASE HELP!

Holy sh**! Really? 3 to 5??

How long does it take for symptoms of calamus worm to show? What are the symptoms? I bought some fish from my LFS that are currently in quarantine. I don't want to put them in the main tank until I'm sure they're not infected. The fish have been in quarantine for 2 weeks.

I googled "spotted silver dollar fish" for some pics and they're beautiful!

How big do the "spotted species" get? :)

I'm going to set up another 55 gallon aquarium. What do you all think is the most fun setup? I was thinking about silver dollars but I'm open to suggestions. :)

Here he is.

Interesting. :) I'm asking all this because I'm thinking about breeding some of my platys. But I want to breed a particular male. He has stripes!

Did she have babies more than once?

I've read that a female platy can store a male's sperm after mating. And can get pregnant more than once after a single encounter with a male. Is this true? If so, for how long?

It's alot of fun. I just wish I had more room/money to set up more tanks.

Some are almost white and others are a deep orange color. But they all have a nice iridescent shine. :)

Some don't even have spots.

I think so. They born from a pair I bought at the pet store a while back. I don't remember what the parents were called.

The pics are a little fuzzy because platys never stop moving!

I've read that as long as they are a fast moving fish the CAEs won't be able to suck 'em. But I see your point. My CAEs will attack the platys sometimes but the platys are small and fast. And platys are not flat bodied fish.

Beautiful oscar! And the silver dollars look great! I have no other fish in the 55g because I haven't bought the 55g yet. :) Could I put a chinese algae eater in with them? Or a Cory cat?
