My poor platy... there are longstanding problems in my tank but here's the gist: I'm treating for ich with CureICk and true fungus (Maroxy). I was treating with Maracyn for a few days but that wasn't hitting the fungal infection because it's cottony.

Now the platy is swimming around practically vertically with her head down and tail up. SHe only has 2 ich spots and the fungus infection on her tail fin. This is only my first day of treating with Maroxy... I have a feeling it is the medicine that is causing this and I just replaced most of her water with fresh water, but the wierd swimming behavior is continuing. What to do? Her fins aren't clamped. Is she in pain?
 
It got worse quickly, I ended up euthanizing her. :(

R.I.P. coraly platy girl :/
 
Sorry R.I.P.
