Death Everyday

[fishboy1232]

why do my platies die everyday?

You probably have a desease in your tank! Get some pictures of them as quick as you can and if you can't identify what the desease is, I'll try. You have to get this taken care of ASAP so all your platties dont die! Chop Chop!

It could be any number of reasons. Get us some more information.

1. How large is the tank?
2. What is in the tank? Fish, other animals, decorations, equipment?
3. Temperature of the tank?
4. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels? If you don't know this one, get yourself a test kit.
5. Are the fish exhibiting any signs of illness? Fungus? Spots? Redness?

Your question cannot be answered by any stretch of the imagination.

OH yeah, I didn't think about tank size or equitment or anything because I hate plenty of room for all my fish and I've never once had and problems with that kind of thing. Yeah, I know, kinda stupid of me huh? Well, anyway, please get us those test results and stuff!
