Hi,
New to the forum, needed to post as I am in a desperate situation!
I have a planted 60 ltr tank, currently with 4 checkered barbs, 5 cherry barbs, 1 plec, 1 Platy. I originally had 3 platys, but they have been a weird bunch. One was really shy and wouldn't feed early on, so died about a week ago.
This morning I noticed another one of the Platys had a wound in his side. The checkered barbs were chasing and nipping at the wound (I think they had bit him) and sadly the Platy died a little while ago.
I now have a lone Platy and really worried the barbs will hurt him also! What should I do?!! One of the barbs has got really big and tends to chase everyone in there, but all the barbs were going after the bitten one. They are so mean!!
