Hi folks,
well, this is indeed my first time using an internet forum *proud of me...hehe*
I'm from Germany but I tried to avoid german forums in order to improve my English skills, I hope you can understand it.
I wish, I could have better news than telling you about the problems infested my tank.
Some weeks ago, I bought a new aquarium of about 55 gallons. It's a fresh water aquarium, now populated with six playts, six guppys, four armoured catfishes and last but not at least a bristlenose catfish. I got lots of plants in there (about 20 plants) and everything worked fine until I realized, that a platy disappeared.
I found him hiding behind the radix. He seems to be sick and dull, his gills are really swelled compared to other ones. What does this mean?
A little while ago, I gave them something to eat and I was wondering to see him reappear from his dark and deserted hiding place, where he spends the whole day long, waiting for something alone. :?
He has a really weird behavior and that confuses me.
What could be wrong in my tank? This is the only fish in my tank, that feels queasy...is there any possibility to recall him to life??
I'd like to thank everyone reading this message and those who'd like to help me.
Have all a nice day!!
