Fish Crazy
Hi,
I am having a problem with one of my platy, she has swollen to double her size and resembles the shape of a brick rather tank a ball, she also has slightly raised scales all over her body and has no energy.
She has swelled up like this before, but it was during a time they were all pregnant, but this quickly went away, although i have never seen the raised scales before.
This has been getting worse over the last 5 days, at first i thought it was just constipation and so reduced feeding to see what happens.
Nothing, she just kept getting larger, i have just noticed the raised scales this morning.
Any idea what the problem may be? i have no idea how to treat her.
I have:
140L planted community tank running a fluval 305 with sand substrate.
Water:
PH - 7.5
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 20
Nitrite - 0
Fish:
6x neon tetra
1x gold gourami
1x 3 spot gourami
4x platy
3x zebra loach
2x bristlenose pleco
I have treatments for internal bacteria, finrot and white spot but none mention raised scales as a symptom.
What can i do?
