again?

[newfishies]

i woke up this morning and my platy minnie was dead. i don't know what happened. she was fine last night!
nitrate was 20
nitrite 0
hardness 50
alkalinity 80
pH 6.4
amonia 0

the other fish seem fine. should i try to do something about the pH?

sorry, forgot aobut the ammonia

How old was the platy, any signs of illness like bloating, spots,fungus anything.

she looked totally fine. she was quite a bit larger than my other girl, but i have only had my tank (and her) for 2 months or so... i don't know how old she was

If you used her to cycle the tank it takes it's toll on the fish and their immune system shuts down opening them up to desease, sorry for your loss.

i bought her after my tank cycled. the danios who cycled my tank are doing great, nice and feisty!! i think she was just old...RIP
