HI guys,
Came home tonight to find my female platy, who has always been a healthy fish, torpedoing head first into the gravel and spinning alarmingly fast as she’s doing so. Afterwards she flashes a bit. It happens every once in a while. I noticed her gills are a bit inflamed, too.
Other fish seem to be doing fine.
About a month ago I was dealing with an unknown disease that claimed five of my fishies. It seemed to have settled, so I am worried she’s getting sick from it now, too. All the past fish got extremely thin before dying.
I added some paraguard to the tank. In my experience it isn’t harsh in the fish, so I don’t mind adding it. Her behavior is very, very strange. Seems neurotic, kinda in the same way that mollies with a bad case of the shimmies look: Almost “not fully there.”
Really worried about her.
Ammonia was a little high. Less than 0.25 but not 0.
I added several ghost shrimp this week which promptly decided to die. The fish have been eating them. They’re feeder grade ghost shrimp, I wasn’t expecting them all to make the switch.
