I'm not sure your negative approach to asking for help will get you many replies, but we should at least start with some more info on your situation.

Sounds like you might have posted this already - do you have links to those threads so that people can have a read and try and identify the issue?

Was you this rude when you asked for help before?

Red gills usually point to an ammonia issue. What are your stats and water chemistry? What fish? What size tank? What filter? What temperature?

What is 'good parameters'?

Temperature seems a little high to me for Platies. Try lowering it to 75f/24c. The higher temperature will be starving the water of oxygen which could be leading to red gills.

What a way to start asking for advice Lol

So you got angry because no one had answered to your questin after 7 whole minutes?

That's a lifetime!

And I thought diplomacy was dead Reret. A picture, and the actual water stats would be helpful. I am sure you are right saying they are perfect, but let's make sure eh

With red gills, have to agree on ammonia issues even a little amount of ammonia say greater than 0 but less than 0.5 can cause red gills even in platies, i have mine at a tempture of 82F, and they are fine, I use Prime as my chemical and have found this is the best chemical for my tap water, what kind of filtration system do you have? How often are you doing WC? And when was your last media change?

agree, please still post a fresh water test....

 

[CezzaXV]

Exact parameters would be good to know. Also, are you using a dechlorinator?

You have been a member here for a bit less than 6 months, so no, we could not have helped you a year ago. You asked about Red Gills back in October, and failed to provide members with the results of water tests. You asked about Reddened Gills back in February, and did not reply at all.

If you expect any sort of reasonable diagnosis we do need the water test results, as well as the rest of the information requested. If you don't correspond with us, as was the case back in February, then no, you probably won't get much help. You have to help us to help you. Please provide the information that has been requested.

Please don't think all us Californians are like this.

I suspect this is what happened a year ago. OP posts, then when asked for some simple details, never bothers to provide them or answer any replies.
