Help!-sick Zebra Danio & 2 Sick Platies

[jmcn2005]

Urgent help/advice needed. I have discovered today that I have three sick fish. I have a large 250litre mixed community with platies, harlequins, zebra danios and a plec.

One of my zebra danios has a big swollen gill on one-side and isn't half as active as usual (just shoaling around with the harlequins). One platy is hanging around near the surface (not doing much), every now and again he'll swim around the tank but then returns to the surface in one corner of the tank. Platy number two is hanging around at the bottom of the tank and I have just noticed that she has some small white spots on her fins and spots on her body that seem to be raised/fluffy (??white-spot/velvet).

Ph 6.5, NO2,NO3, ammonia all fine. 20% Water change 4 days ago.

Any ideas???

sounds more like velvet than whitespot to me,you can get a med from lfs or if your really desperate pets at home! just see what a few more experienced folks on here say,just to make sure

I would treat for whitespot, raise temp to 30 and increase aeration, good luck.
