    Platy is dying ?

    My carbon filter is in the cartridge :) It says it helps with fungal! I didn’t see any on him either, he looks quite normal physically. It’s just the clamped fin and odd behaviour. He’s the only one that seems to be affected. The rest are quite normal, even the fish that was put in at the...

    Platy is dying ?

    Ohh okay. Would it be cycling now then if they solution didn’t work? Today would be my third day of treatment, it’s a five day treatment. It’s Lifeguard all in one. I’ll include a picture. It says on the back that it’s a good prevention for adding new fish too

    Platy is dying ?

    I know it’s a shot in the dark, but would you assume the ammonia would be the likely problem? I do! My tank has a bubble wall in the back. Those tablets from the treatment require the filter pad to be taken out. I hope that won’t cause any further issues for my little friends

    Platy is dying ?

    Thank you so much ��. I’ll look up that kit now and see if it’s available to order near me. I’ll do another one today, a higher water change. I really hope he’ll be okay by the time I get the more accurate tests ��. I’m absolutely heartbroken that he’s not going...

    Platy is dying ?

    I’ll answer these to the best of my knowledge ? 1) He’s a Platy Tricolor. I can’t get too much of a look at him because he hides in the back behind everything and when he comes out, he moves super quickly. I haven’t seen any physical changes except for his clamped fins and breathing more...

    Platy is dying ?

    Please help! I’m new to fish keeping and my platy is staying at the bottom of the tank hiding and clamping his fins down! If he’s disturbed, he’ll come to the surface and swim frantically up there. He’s still eating though. Can I still save him??
