:* Hi I have a 190 litre tank with 4 mickey mouse platy ( 2 male, 2 female), 4 fantail guppies (2 male, 2 female), 4 harlequins, 20 odd guppy frys and 1 platy fry. :D

The problem i have is with 1 of my female mickey mouse platys. :unsure: From the day i purchased her she was pale and afraid but seems to have had babies and found a mate. Lately my tank has suffered a case of ICK and fin rot. She caught the finrot and seems to be getting worse. I have treated the tank with esha 2000 and esha exit but it doesnt seem to be helping the fin rot. Today i noticed her tail had become smaller and square. She keeps getting nipped by her partner and always has her fins tucked in. Also she keeps getting swept away by the filter. I am very worried and think she might die. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! Any suggestions are welcome!! :shout:
 
First of all, it sounds like she is being bullied, so i would recomend moving her to a hospital tank so she can rest and be left alone. If she is still having problems with what sounds like a bacterial infection, i would try a med that is geared specifically towards bacterial infections. I know esha 2000 is a cure all that is advertized for parasites, bacteria, and fungus, so i don't have much faith in it. I am not familiar with the esha exit.
 
:* Thank you so much for replying to my plea. I will take your advice on board and will buy a hospital tank as soon as possible. Thanks. Anymore suggestions are welcomexxx :good:
