I’m currently putting the fry in my main tank in case something happens when I’m not home. They are over a month old. The female is currently hiding. I’ll do a water change on the small tank. Should I turn the light off in case she’s in labor?

I cleaned the tank a few days ago. I only have test strips, but here are the results: nitrite- 0 nitrate-10 chlorine- 0 kh- about 110 ph- about 7

One of my female platys has been breathing heavily and staying at the bottom of the tank all day. She ate this morning. I moved her to a smaller tank. The small tank only has two platy fry that will go into my bigger tank soon. All of my other fish are fine. I can’t tell if she is pregnant or...

It was literally spinning, like all around and super fast, random directions. (Corkscrew if you know what that swimming drill is). I do a 30-40% water change at least once a weak, and my tank currently has 3 filters. Her stomach wasn’t really black. It was blue but I researched it and it said...

They were packaged, but I cleaned them and boiled them before feeding

I looked it up online and it seemed safe. Does she look bloated in the pic? There was only a tiny bit of cabbage

They weren’t. I checked the ingredients, and it was just romaine lettuce, carrot, and red cabbage. My mollies picked at some if it and they are fine.

I hope nothing was on the vegetables, my parents eat those. I’ll definitely get a new test kit when I can. Thanks

I have driftwood. She hid under it often and ate a good bit of it. I also have live plants and lava rock, but she didn’t use those often. She also liked hiding behind the heater or on the old filter.

I’ll definitely try to get it soon. Do you have any idea why the pleco could have died? I had recently installed two new filters, which could have been stressing her out as her behavior changed when I added them. (She started staying at one spot at the front of the tank).

How long do they last? I might be able to get my parents to get it if it lasts a while but I don’t think they’ll let me buy it often

I use test strips. They don’t test ammonia but my nitrite was 0 and my nitrate was less than 10 since I had just cleaned the tank.

I woke up to find that she hadn’t moved at all. I looked closely and noticed her eyes weren’t red anymore. I put the net in, and she still didn’t move, so I removed her. I still have no idea why she died. The vegetables had nothing on them, the ingredients were just romaine lettuce, carrot, and...
