I have very few problems with any of my fish. Early on when I started my tank, I lost a couple Mollies and a male Guppy that just seemed to start shrinking away until they eventually died or I euthanized them right before they died.
Over the last few months, I noticed that one of my 2 Mickey Mouse Platies just keeps getting smaller and smaller. His activity level hasn't changed at all, he seems fine other than the fact that he has shrunk so much that he doesn't even look like a Platy anymore! These 2 pics show it pretty clearly, his brother, bought at the same time, looks normal.
I think he's anorexic or bulimic but I never see him running to the bathroom and sticking his fin down his throat. I'm trying to convince the other fish to do an intervention, but all they do is race around all excited. "Yeah yeah, sure we'll do whatever you want as long as you FEED US MORE!! Yeah yeah!! More FOOD!!". They're worthless.
Molly on lower right is the male offspring of my Creamsicle Lyretail female and Silver Sailfin male. Gave away 2 dozen. More on the way, soon hopefully
Camera hogs. The fatty on the right is my Pineapple Sword who just can't get pregnant fast enough. Gave away 350+ fry and 50+ more in the 10g. She'll drop again in 1 week.
