I have three sick(?) fish. One is a pregnant platy that developed white "lips" the night before last. She is eating fine, and very active. The other two are pretty lethargic. They lay at the bottom a lot. They still eat and swim great. Their body colors are not right. They are very pale compared to what they use to be. They are also pretty skinny compared to what they use to be.
My parameters are not quite right. I am just learning to proper way to care for an aquarium, and getting things in check as we speak. It takes time though.
Ammonia-.25
Nitrates-40ppm
Nitrites.25ppm
Ph-7.6
I have a 29 gallon, with an aqua tech 30-60. I have 6 adult platies, one ACF, one albino bristle nose, and two blue gouramis. Tank has been running for about 3 years. Temp is 80, and I have a large bubble wand. I have a gravel bottom. Last wc was last night at 9pm, and I did about 40%. I use aqua safe declorinator&conditioner, but I have two bottles of prime on the way. I use API master test kit, and it is brand new. I can't think of anything else you may need to know right now.
I have attached pictures of all three fish.
