I'd been treating ick in my 5g QT. I believe those problems have been resolved now finally. Day before last, I noticed that one of the platies looked to have a slightly darker belly (from inside) than before. I thought nothing at all of it. Yesterday I saw him, and could see that he'd lost a lot of weight overnight, and the belly looks slightly darker. Today he's so skinny he looks deformed.
Any idea of what type of illness would cause this? Any suggestions as to medications that might help? BTW, this is a MALE, so he did not lose weight by dropping fry. There is definitely something not right with him, but I've no idea what. I had 2 females there as well, but I took them out tonight just in case....but will keep a close eye on them for the next several days.
He's still swimming normally, still wants to eat like a horse.
