Hello, would really appreciate some help with this one!
One of our platys since having her first bunch of fry a few weeks ago, has developed a little patch (5x4mm ish) of what looks like criss-crossing thin black lines or possibly black scarring? at the base of her dorsal fin, head end. Otherwise than that she seems quite healthy, just occasionally at 6-7pm she gets quite quiet and lethargic and spends her time drifting at the top of the tank - very occasionally gasping for air, sometimes drifting down for a bit and then up again.
Everyone else in the tank looks healthy and happy.
We're a bit stumped and a bit terrified that it's something awful and if we don't stop it we're going to have a catastrophe. Any help really appreciated.
