Aquarium Advice Addict
So today I bought 3 platies and put them in my 5 gal open top QT tank. I got them acclimated and settled in so I left the"fish" room and went to my bedroom. About two hours later I come back to check on them and there are 3 platies on the floor. One was pretty much completely dry, one was sorta dry, and one was mostly wet. So I quickly picked them up and put them back in the tank and the wet one acted pretty much normal, and the sorta dry one swam a little and then hovered in the corner and the dry one floated at the top. So I went to find something to cover the tank but all I found was a towel.
When I got back to the tank the dry one was at the bottom so I picked him up and was gonna toss her, but I saw her fins moving so I left her and put the towel over the tank. Hopefully the darkness will help to keep them less stressed. I'm really hoping that they all survive.
BUT, I should have known better. When I brought inThe platies from my outdoor tubs they were also placed in an open top tank and all but one of them jumped out and died. You would think that I would learn from my mistakes!
My rant is over now!
Also all this was about an hour ago and they are swimmingish now!

Money Can't Buy Happiness, But It Can Buy Fish Which Is Pretty Much The Same Thing
