ill platy

[GSD]

my platy is dying its nearly gone but i couldnt kill her!
her gills are white and she looks really skinny and just in bad condition but where her fin is (the gondything on the male)its got a lump any ideas what it is and is it catching to the other fish?

 

[WILDER]

Are the other fish skinny or just her.

 

[GSD]

just her!she is dead now i was just wondering how she died,and what of!!!
water fine
gills went pale
she went skinny but had a lump on her fin

 

[WILDER]

Did she go skinny through not eating, pale gills sometimes can indicate gill parasites, and lumps can be bacterial.

 

[GSD]

no she always ate this happened over about 2days if that so it was very quick!onbe day she was fine the next she was really skinny and dead!

poor thing, going skinny can be a sign of internal parasites, or tb, you couldn't have saved her had to many ailments there, once they start mounting up odds are against you, keep an eye on the remaining fish, good luck, maybe do some water changes, and add some salt to the tank if you have no scaless fish.
