My little yellow comet (twinbar) platy died today after suffering what I thought were internal parasites. She was half way through the treatment today, they day she died.
She was my most hardy platy....I bought her in a bad way back in February. She had ich and finrot and was VERY thin. I nursed her back to health in a quar tank. She gave birth to many fry (all of them eaten though I think) and was my favourite platy.
Wanting to know what killed her I dissected her just now. I couldn't see anything unusual, but then again, I am not an expert on fish anatomy. All I know is that all her insides were black.....is that normal?? She had been dead no more than 9 hours (I have been at work)....
I feel bad for two reasons.....1. I should have started the internal parasite treatment sooner. 2. I should have euthanised her 3 days ago like I was going to. Then this morning she wasn't moving. I figured then she would die sometime today.
Is SOOOOO sad. I am crying now But on the other hand I am also glad that she is no pain anymore.....the last few days she couldn't even eat.....poor girl....
BYE bye fishie
