Well I'll never know what caused her behavior. She died this morning found her belly up on the bottom. :rip:

No picture yet my camera is rubbish, I'll try again later. She actually looks thinner than before I left. She might have had her babies while I was gone. I am almost positive that she was pregnant when I left her belly was swollen. but she looks like a normal femal MM platy. I'll update...

Hi all. I have a female MM platy that has been acting differently than normal. She is normally a fairly active fish but lately she just seems to lay about, hovering above the bottom or floating at the top. She has no white spots and she is not gasping at the surface. I just recently returned...

Just wanted to post an update on my babies. Now that they are bigger we can finally count. We have 21 baby platies!!!!! And they are all doing well. They are now eating algae flake and occasionally brine shrimp for a treat(they love to chase them). Thanks to everyone who posted answer you...

Ok I need a little further help. I started out feeding the babies liquifry, and Although they are not quite a week old I tried to crumple really small some algae flake(thanks Neale for the info). They don't seem to be interested in it, it just floats at the top of the tank. I do not want them...

She doesn't look like she is quite ready to drop yet, I may be mistaken but that looks like a platy. My platy before she dropped her babies "squared" up. The bulge on her tummy become kind of square in the front, thats when I knew she was ready to drop. I have tried to draw on your picture...

I don't have any free floating algae though. Do LFS sell floating algae? I have never seen any around here. Is there a good online source for them?

Thank you for the answers, Neale I didn't know you weren't supposed to feed them regular flakes :blush: . Are they going to be ill because of it? :-( I tried to find Spirulina flakes tonight after reading your post, but my lfs was closed(evil buggers). Tomorrow I might try to get out and buy...

Look I am not trying to be rude but I have seen several response to many other threads, some of which started after mine. Did I do something to offend everyone? I read the tutorials but none of them give a timeline of how soon to start feeding after birth, and they also don't mention when to...

So I am in the middle of my normal hustle and bustle cleaning for guests who are on their way and I notice my platy female chasing some thing in the tank I wonder what it could be since the only other thing in there was the male and what do I find. Babies!!!!!!! I quickly placed mom and dad...

I think my Female gold MM platy is pregnant as her belly is swollen up and has been that way for a couple of weeks now, but she has no gravid spot. I am very confused because all the pictures of a gravid spot show them as a black spot. I would love it if she is pregnant but I am not sure. I...

Another Update I believe this is the 7th day for my ich treatment. The ICH is in remission on the rams and I have had no further losses in my tank. Funny thing is I went to the same LFS that I bought the rams from to get the meds and I look in their Ram tank, blink, and recheck. The whole...

Wilder is like out local fish doctor, she knows what meds are available in amazingly diverse areas of the world. So I would guess a medicine recommendation.

I checked my water parameter's before adding the treatment. I use api's master test kit(liquid test). temp is around 80 to 82. I increased the temp as soon as I added my ich treatment. I am using api super ich guard I think its called. I mostly made this post if there was some urgent...
