Hi
I have kept tropical fish for just over a year having a 64l tank with sparkling gouramis, neon tetras, black tetras, and last Sunday I added my first platys. I really love them. They are such fiesty litte fish and really bring my tank out.
I noticed yesterday that two of the fish, a male and a female, seemed to be sleeping a lot. I fed the fish as usual yesterday evening and the female platy that was sleeping a lot didn't feed very much. The male one started to swim around a feed with the others.
Again this am the same two fish are at the back together. I have keet checking on them all morning. Then just now when I checked the female one has died. There seems to be no apparent reason for this. All water levels are within normal parameters.
Please help as I a worried that my male platy will go the same way and they were so happy when I introduced them at weekend.
Many thanks
Karen
