Hi there
I'm still relatively new to all this but I have a bioorb 30L tank I do water changes once a week (25%) I have 4 male platies and 2 ghost (Yamato) shrimp. Everything has been fine apart from I've come home after being away for 3 days to a rather sick Male platy.
I've instantly noticed he's lost his colour, he's normally a blue shimmer and now he's a white colour. His fins are almost shut - not open and wide like his tank mates he's also looking a little disorientated/ swimming a little wobbly, he appears to have no appetite either.
Temperature is 81•F I've tested the water and I have 0.0 Nitrate/ ammonia levels PH 7.5/ 8.0. I'm not sure what to do? I fear that he's probably not going to make it - I do have a small 13L Nano tank - that I'm tempted to put him in for Quarantine. But I don't know the first thing about setting up a QT?
Does anyone have any advice!! As I would really appreciate any help? Pictures attached thank you!
