My little pygmy platy is hiding all the time. He was fine until yesterday when i noticed him doing this. He is completely hidden from view mostly at the bottom of the tank in the baby ferns. He doesnt come out for food, just sits there. When i was doing a water change and vaccuming out the tank, he was scared out for a little while. I didnt see anything unusual he doesnt seem to be hurt or anything. The water params are 0, 0 and <25. So i dont know what could be wrong with him he sometimes gets bugged by the other 2 in there,But this has never happened before.
Another one has had a large swelling at the base of his tail, under his skin for a few months now. My best guess is that it is melanoma, which ive read can be fairly common in black platies. And hes mostly black. Does anyone know if theres a treatment for this?
And my last one seems to have a white spot on his fin that wasnt there before. It doesnt look like the ich symptoms that ive seen in petstores. It just looks like something got stuck onto it.
This has all gotten me pretty freaked out since it happened all in a few days. Any suggestions to help my platies would be helpful. Thanks you.
20 gall tall, 3 male platies, and 6 pygmy cories.
