My female platy has a sunken belly... You can see her mate... and he is normal.
I haven't seen her eat in several weeks...
She had a batch of fry on January 1st & 31st...
Parameters are and have been steady at this level for months:
Ph- 8.0
Ammo- 0
Nitrite- 0
Nitrate- 10
Temp- 80-82 degrees
Tank is a 20g Long. Inhabitants are the 2 platies & 20 or so 1/4" Molly fry. She seemed more active when it was just the two of them... I think she may be unhappy about the pesky kids running around... She has generally been shy & skittish with me... I've had her since December 24th.
I have the fry in there because they needed more room than in the 10g and I needed 10g for her teeny platy fry... I have about 25 of those.
She lays behind the stone rock or INSIDE the betta cave that's in there. Yesterday I found her laying on the betta leaf...
Any suggestions? I so wish I could make it the 2 of them again, but that doesn't seem to be able to happen right now.
