One of my 2 platy is quite ill. He has a touch of fin rot, and what appears to be a fungal infection on one side. He has also been flashing against the edge of the filter so has got a large inflamed area along the underside.
Im guessing this is a fungal infection, I have isolated him, and the rest of the tank seems fine. I will keep an eye on it though.
What im looking for now is the root cause of this. I have had the platy for 2 months now, and no changes have been made to the tank since then.
Tank: 10 US Gal
2 Platty (1 in there now)
2 Leopard Dannio
2 Glowlight tetra
1 neon tetra
pH 7.8 (It comes out of my taps at 8 and I mix in a little water from a jug filter (pH 6) to bring it down a shade)
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 15
GH 9
Kh 2
Any ideas where the problem could lie? Im guessing its the high pH but my other platy seems fine.
Thanks,
KF
