Hi, I’m a new member so I’m not sure if I’m posting this in the right place. I’m just feeling a bit desperate.
My poor platy fish isn’t well at all. I’m almost certain she’s got swim Bladder as she was swimming around, nose down. I have separated her from my other platys (so they can’t arrack her) but she is in a smaller tank in the same aquarium.
She has recently had fry (as far as I know she’s only given birth once before.)
Apart from her not being able to stay horizontal her colour, eyes and fins looked normal.
I did a 1/3 water change, didn’t feed flakes for 2 days then fed her softened, organic peas, which she ate. I have made sure there is a good oxygen supply.
The rest of the fish are swimming around looking perfectly healthy,
I have been trying my best to do all I can for her and nurse her back to health but this evening she’s not in a good way. She’s now floating at the bottom, on her side although still trying to eat when I have offered her food.
I hate seeing her suffer, is there anything possible I could do to save her? ? any advice would be greatly appreciated. It breaks my heart seeing her like this. Thankyou x
