Ok lately my fish have been dying. I've lost one neon tetra and one platy this week. In the past two to three months I've lost a dwarf gourami, two blue rams, a cory cat, and another platy. I've tested the water several times and the water seems to be normal. I have no idea what has been killing them. Could it be something in the water? Well the weird thing is, is that I found a baby Platy swimming in the tank. I never knew the platys even spawned!!! I have no idea where the rest of the platys are. I guess he is the only one that survived. How can I keep from this baby platy from dying What do i feed him? How can i keep my fish from dying!! HElp!!

Hi tb19
You say you tested your water several times and the readings are normal what are the parameters? this will help us with your problem,How long has your tank been running?What is your maintenance schedule?
Platys are live bearers you can put the remaining fry in a breeding net if you want to keep it safe from being eaten :0
I'm sure someone with more experience will be along shortly
Hang in there!

Float some plants on the top for the baby to hide in. I just crush a tiny bit of food near the babies. Good Luck!

i use java moss for my babies and crush up some flake food to a powder for the babies anf feed them microworms, as for the fish dying,test the water could be something there have you added anything new sometimes adding new stuff from your LFS has hitchhikers and fish can be ill
