there is actually a few things i wouldnt mind having some answers to....

first.
i have a sunrise platy and it is obese! i have tried not feeding it for a few days thinking that may help if it is belly bloat but it didnt work. when i first started my little fishy wonderland i admit it, i was guilty of over-feeding. but now i fish twice a day and just enough to where they could eat all the food in 2 minutes. but this fish just keeps getting bigger.

i have another fish just like him, they were the same size when i got them, but then as they grew one was growing a little quicker than the other. but now the other one is nearlly just as big now!! i attached some links to some piks. tell me what you think please?!!

second:
today when i got home from work, i looked in my tank to see the smaller of the 2 fatties lying completly on its side. i thought for sure it was a gonner! it was just lying on its side on the floor of the tank and was underneath some tubing i have running in there to the bubble wall i have. then a fish drifted into the one lying down and all of sudden the fatty startd up and swimming like nothing had happened. after that incident, i then noticed it has fungus on its back and the lower side of its belly?!?!

third: ive got this other platy, completely different pair. one has been being bullied by the other. being chased by it and hiding from it. kind of sad really. well the victim really isnt looking well right now. its kind of thin and weak and its either lying on the floor of the tank or staying right up by the filter. also, i dont know if this is just me trippin but its guills look .... hard to describe... the best way i can describe it is like little shiny pink balloons. if that makes any sense?!?!?!?


please help me out. my tanks just going out of control and i have no clue what to do, but i am eager to hear others opinions because apparently mine are not the greatest
 
What are your tank stats ? How long has your tank been set up ? I'm sure someone on here will be able to help but to help they will probably need those tank stats. :good:

yeah that prolly would be a good idea. ok well its a 10 gallon. it has 2 mickey mouse platys, 2 sunrise platys, 2 tuxedo guppys (well now just one because the other died last night :-( ), 2 serpae tetra, and one clown pleco.

the tank has been setup for a few months now
