Hello. My platt girl has been laying at the bottom of the tank for going on 2 weeks now and I can’t figure it out. I was worried she may have velvet or the starting a of Ich so I treated the tank last week with ich-x according to the directions. Did the 25% water change 4 days in a row. Along with 25% water changes weekly. At first she was just hiding a lot and her condition has seemed to deteriorate. She will swim here and there and still seems to eat every morning. It’s a 15 gallon I believe with 1 gourami, 1 pleco, and 1 other platt who I believe is female but her lower fin is so iridescent it’s kind of hard for me to tell. I’ve had this tank for a year, and these exact fish for about 7 months, with no issues. I haven’t added anything other than the air stone about 2 months ago. All plants are love plants that have been in the tank since the beginning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached pictures including the test strip I just used. The Dalmatian red and white platy is the sick one. The yellow one is her tank mate, which again I think is female. Thanks in advance.
