FishPlanet Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 So, All the platies that I have had died from a disease and the 1 remaining is dying from it! The symptoms are: Super skinny bellies, labored breathing, not eating, and arched backs. There are no worms sticking out from what I could see. The only adult platy I have now is dying from it. And, some of my females died from this disease after giving birth. Please help. The only thing that I have added recently are live plants from the co-op. TIA pH 7.8-8.4 Nitrates 10 (I am doing a water change today) Hardness 300 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 KH/Buffer 180 Water Temperature 84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Sunken belly and weight loss and rapid breathing it could be wasting disease but arched back could be caused by a bacterial infection can take a picture in the meantime i would treat with Fritz Expel p as it's a 24hr treatment then a water change then retreat once a week for next 2 weeks after the first course of fritz expel p I would do a course of kanaplex to cover against any possible bacterial infection @FishPlanet Edited December 9, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
