Unexplained Death - Please Help

[karen1908]

Hi

I have kept tropical fish for just over a year having a 64l tank with sparkling gouramis, neon tetras, black tetras, and last Sunday I added my first platys. I really love them. They are such fiesty litte fish and really bring my tank out.

I noticed yesterday that two of the fish, a male and a female, seemed to be sleeping a lot. I fed the fish as usual yesterday evening and the female platy that was sleeping a lot didn't feed very much. The male one started to swim around a feed with the others.

Again this am the same two fish are at the back together. I have keet checking on them all morning. Then just now when I checked the female one has died. There seems to be no apparent reason for this. All water levels are within normal parameters.

Please help as I a worried that my male platy will go the same way and they were so happy when I introduced them at weekend.

Many thanks

Karen

Can you post water stats please.
How many of each fish do you have in the tank.
Were the fish resting on the substrate alot and leaning to oneside.
Were the fish darker or paler in colour.
