Well The Puple Platy Momma Died This Morning And Another VERY Pregnate Momma Died A Little While Ago , The Other Mommas Head Is All White She Can Barley Swim. I medicated The Tank But Its Not Working. I feel SOOOOOO Bad.
:-( What Should I Do With The Rest ! None Of The Others Seem To Be Infected.
 
What size is your tank? what other fish do you have in there? is it a planted tank? what are your water perameters like?
What are the main symptoms?...I could go on and on..lol
Can't help unless you give more info.
But a general rule is...if its not broken :unsure: ..don't try to fix it!! :fun:
 
Sure hope it's not a virus of some sort. Can you give us any more info? So sorry for your losses, that's soooo hard to take. :(
 
The water, I tested and its fine, theres just platys, guppys and 2 small frogs. no real plants.
 
Your filter is working fine and is running properly? If its not ammonia or nitrite, it has to be something else in the water to be affecting the fish so quick. Have you tried doing a 15% water change to see if they look better/more revived?
 
Today I bought new gravel, new plants, real and fake, new decorations, and cleaned the tank 100 %. I also added an under gravel filter system. Things are going really good, Its been set up for aprox 12 hours now

Watch out for the cycle then...........if you have replaced everything............. -_-
 
A little drastic me thinks ???? :nerd: You must have thought it was really serious to risk damage to your remaining fish with another cycle. :fish:

I wish you luck and hope it sorts the problem long term :thumbs: ....but as mentioned above...keep an eye on your levels...otherwise you'll have more dead fish on your hands :rip: :byebye: And I think you had enough bad luck already :blink:
 
Everything is 100% fine, I tested the water, All good ! And no more sickness ! I even have a momma who looks likes shes ready to go . I don't think she aborted at all. Her belly is still black and starting to square a little. I am happy with what I did and the remaining fish and dawarf frogs all seem to be happy. :) I wouldn't have done it unless I thought something could be done but when I lost the amount of fish I did to cotton mouth , the medicine wasn't working I did what I thought would help and it worked. :nod:
 
Oh thats great to hear :D ...nothing worse than having a mojor outbreak, and wandering what to do for the best...while your poor little fishes die :-( . I/ve been lucky so far..but I'm sure one day i'll have that situation to face.

Really glad it worked out for ya and your little guys :thumbs: ;)
