Hi so yesterday I saved some fish from a local on Kijiji, and she said they were tetras but they turned out to be swordtails and platys. They have really different colourings and I can't seem to find them on the internet
They are quarantined right now because they didn't come from the cleanest water, some of the fins were rough, and the platys scales were missing bc I later watched the swordtails nipping at them.
Two of the three swordtails are this colour
The 3rd swordtail is the one at the back, it's silver/white to orange
These are the two platys, one I believe has ICH, so I treated the tank just in case and I've seen improvement in the activity, I've treated them with some freshwater salt by API, and some Melafix by API which will help the fins/scales, also some nox-ich which has helped.
Thanks!
