thank you everyone who has shared what you know. this platy is coming part of a plant in the garden along my corridor. since my last post, the filters and aerator was turned off during feeding time. the fishes were allowed to eat for an hour or so. the leftover flakes were sucked out with...

the box says 1/2 rounded teaspoon for every 1 gallon (4L) i was using 44% of the recommended dose. was intended to use 1/3 but entered the formula wrongly into my spreadsheet. salt was taken out like cocoa powder to give 1 rounded teaspoon. 1 rounded teaspoon - 9.218 g 1/2 rounded...

one of my platys has a silver patch that has been growing. the silver patch appears to be loss of colour. it's not raised and it doesn't look like a cottony growth. her gills are become transparent and i think i'm seeing is the structure of her gills. 8 days ago today the silver patch was...
