Swordtail Platy

[clowninaround]

My mmp is ill.Has been for a few weeks. My tank is fully cycled and all my levels are 0. His sword is turning white and piece by piece is falling off! Any ideas? All other fish seem fine!

 

[clowninaround]

Oh and I do weekly water changes at 25 percent.

If your tank was fully cycled, it would be showing some Nitrates. What are you using to test your water parameters?

By zero she meant Ammonia and Nitrites. Nitrates are usually at 20, the tank is fully cycled and consists of livebearers Platies, Guppies and Mollies. For testing the API Master Liquid Test Kit is used and there have been no spikes in levels. Fish has been acting lethargic and seems a little on the skinny side. Hope that helped Clowninaround

Now by turning white, could it be fin rot? Does it look like a fungus?

 

[clowninaround]

No fungus or fin rot.

Might be a bacterial thing
