Fish Fanatic
I noticed yesterday on thursday that my platy, phoebe, was not eating, and she was hiding in the back of the tank an awful lot
ammonia today-0 ppm
nitrite today-like around mebbe 1-2 ppm(i dont have the little dipping strip thingys)
nitrate day before yesterday(big hassle to test)-mebbe low 20s, high 10s ppm
temp is regular about 78 degrees F
ph in our area is kinda high, at mebbe high 7s to low 8s
water sorta hard
fish symptom-hides a lot will not take food, not even tubifex. has yellow belly, and i think mebbe this is the problem... i sorta noticed it grew a little ever since i got her on 2/13/05 (just noticed today)(pheebs has had the yellowish belly since she came, tho at start just a tiny bit...). shes kinda young
water changes, ive only done one so far on 2/19 like about 10-15%
i use amquel, stress zyme bacterial additive , and stress coat
feed fish sumtims a little tubifex and basic wardley tropical flake food
only other tank mate is another female platy named Susie (yes im 100% sure they both female)
tank size is 12 gallon
and i got both fish at same time on 2/13
plz help!!!!!!!!!!! and thnx
