The platy is usually black and white, since 3 days ago, he is not active and not really eat. And started to have red-gill, also the red bloody spot near abdominal part. He just hide recently and mouth moves constantly.

And Another platy also have the similar symptoms before, and died very sudden a few days ago.

5 gallons tank with other several platy. Ammonia level is 0, which is normal. the tank is near window and we just started to cover the tank to avoid too much sunshine.

What should I do to save him?

Hi looks like it could be septicaemia,

Which would explain the sudden dead in the other fish
Are You are sure your ammonia is 0? Have you done a water change
