EmsG Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone I’ve had some Platys since august last year and at the start of the year this guy has developed this large black spot and dropsy. I’ve treated Epsom salt baths and meds from my local aquarium but what would make this black patch keep spreading? move attached his first colouring in august, then in January. he’s in a hospital tank but it’s all spreading and I can’t make him any better sadly.

Guppysnail Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I’m sorry about your fish. I believe @Hobbit has some experience with this in platy fish. I’ll try to find their thread on cancer tumors in platy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Aww, poor fish. Yep, unfortunately it’s genetic and there’s nothing you can do. ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
