    Sick Platy, wasting away

    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.

    Sick Platy, wasting away

    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...

    Sick Platy, wasting away

    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...

    Sick Platy, wasting away

    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...

    Sick Platy, wasting away

    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...

    Sick Platy, wasting away

    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...

    Updated! Pregnant platy question

    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...

    Updated! Pregnant platy question

    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...

    Updated! Pregnant platy question

    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...
