A few weeks ago I had a platy who's eyes developed a white dot in the center, and then it wasn't able to find much food, but he was still eating at first. About a week later I found him dead with his gills spread out wide. Now my dwarf platys eyes are going a bit cloudy, his scales seem kind of uneven and dark and he is swimming kind of funny, like he's not using his tail so he wiggles the rest of his body. I have one other new platy that I introduced right before the first one died who is doing fine for now. The sick one doesn't look like its gold or dusty, but I was thinking maybe velvet? My parameters are 0,0 .5. My nitrites dont ever go up very high so I don't do water changes as often, maybe since I only have 2 platys and 6 Pygmy cories in a 20g. Does anybody know what this could be? I don't want to find him dead like the first one :( thanks!
