[Platy16]

So i have a fifteen gallon taank three mickey mouse platys and three albino cories but when i fed the fish today i noticed on of my platys was dead the other was pacing back nd forth and he has for sort of white things that look like horns coming out of his sides two horn type things i know its not ich i have had it before and my last platy is laying at the bottom breathing heavily my cories are very happy swimming and playying but my other fish are in need of help but i have no idea what is wrong.

Sounds like parasites you will need a med, if in the states something like clout.

Can you describe the symtoms in anymore detail?
Do they look anything like these;

If they do, then you have anchor worms. Try using a anti parasitic med like Jungle Parasite Guard.

doesent really look like the picture but i will try treating it as a parasite but i am now down to only one platy and three cories and the last platy is just laying in the same spot and wont move my cories are still happy on the other note is it possible for my cories to get this otherwise if not i was going to move them in with my betta untill i get the other tank cleared up

All the fish will probably have it, the platys give it a salt bath as parasites hate salt, don't do it with the cory as they are a scaless fish and can't tolerate salt, do you have any parasites meds, for gill flukes, anchor worms etc.
