she died
but only after bullying 5 of my 6 neons to death
not been a good week or two really
water is fine and has been for ages i did do a water change, tried warming the new water to make sure there wasnt too much of a shock - tank was at 30C in an attempt to treat for ich.
so in last couple of weeks stock has gone
from 3 2* platty, betta
to 2 1 platty, 1 betta
to 6 3 platty, 1 betta, 2 cory juli
to 4 3 platty, 1 betta
to 3 3 platty
to 9 3 platty, 6 neons
to 8,7,6,5,4,3 in one day lost 5 neons and one platty
to 3 + fry - the remaining femaly platty dropped some fry on saturday night
sadly at least 2 got sucked into the filter
have seen about 6 others hiding in plants/stones
all my water params are fine, been treating for ich, but this platty got bad quick, i am sure she couldnt see and was nipping at the neons thinking they were food, the odd thing is the male platty, which was first fish in the tank was swimming alongside her looking like he was trying to stop her.
i had to go out, and when i returned she was dead floating vertical in the water head down
