I have a 36 gallon tank with six Platy's and 3 Danios. Two weeks ago I did a 50% water change and cleaned the mechanical filter media (just rinsed the sponges in the water pulled from the tank) about a week later one of the Platy's started to quarantine himself in the plants in the corner. Since then, another platy has done the same then went into a fixed sideways bend and would not swim, just floated at the top. We decided to euthanize the poor condition floating platy. The original sick guy is starting to do better, but now we have another 2 Platys quarantining themselves in the plants.
Water parameters as of now are 0 ammonia, 0 Nitrite, and almost 0 Nitrate. ph usually sits around 7.4. water temp is at 80. They have all been in the tank for around 6 months with no problems until know. I have also been dosing stress coat for the additional help the last week.
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts? Im thinking of maybe starting an antibiotic before the whole tank goes down. All the fish look normal with no fin rot, white spots, or red gills. Im at a loss and any help would be appreciated.
