GH Is in the high 200s closer to 300 ppm. KH is 80 ppm. PH is a bit above 7.8. Any chance water current can be causing issues? I read that platys don't prefer strong currents but my filter creates a pretty strong current.

So it's not looking good for my little Mickey mouse platy. She did perk up when I first started the treatment with general cure, but ended up going back to clamped fins and shimmies. She is still decently active, eats a bit, but is still wasting away. I've done all the reading and have been...

So my tank has been a pretty constant struggle. I have had it about a month and a half or so, same for the fish, no new additions. The filter says tetra whisper 10 but thats all i know, it came in a starter pack with the tank, i will see if i still have the box. I was dumb and didn't do research...

I think it's working! The Platy that was having problems is pooping a long white thing and I haven't seen her poop in days! I know that doesn't mean she didn't but I've been watching pretty closely for days and never see her poop just all the others. Hopefully that means she's passing the...

I will definitely look into that! Thank you sooo much!

I just added it so I will have to wait and see. I'm really hoping this works. I'm so new to it and I've made alot of rookie mistakes because I listened to the pet store people. Now that I've done tons of research I know they lied about so many things or are just very ill informed. I really don't...

Hey everybody! I have a couple quick questions. I have a sick platy, (the third so far, the other two have already passed). I have decided to try API general cure as a last ditch effort to save the rest and was considering adding some Epsom salt after as I have read it can help them pass the...

Awesome! Thank you so much for the reply!

I think I solved the mystery, I decided to rinse my filter cartridge and when I put it in some tank water I saw something moving in the bucket... that's right a tiny clear fry... I think the outlines I thought I was seeing was just her orange gravid area. (I thought the fry were orange because...

Thank you for the replies, I will try and upload a photo if I can get a good one. (Edit: I tried uploading a picture and it gave me an error saying the file was too large, no clue how to fix that) I worry because I've had problems in my tank. I've lost two fish to what I believe was a parasite...

Hello, So I am very new to the fish world, and I have a question about my pregnant platy. She has been pregnant for weeks now and for about a week or so I could see their outlines and eyes. My platy is a clear Mickey mouse platy, I don't know the actual name for her type. Today I can still see...
