Fish Fanatic
A couple of months ago one of my platys was staying at the surface and gasping for air. It did this for quite a few weeks until one day. I arrived back from short holiday to see some family over Christmas and when I returned, it looked bloated and was floating. It did not really swim down for the next few days before I had to euthanise it. I never worked out what the problem was. Then a couple of weeks later, another one of my platys was also gasping at the surface. It never looked bloated or floated but a couple of weeks later it died too. Now one of my younger platys is showing similar symptoms. It is gasping at the surface and when it is not at the surface, it is hiding in amongst the plants at the bottom. It still eats and I have noticed a small white patch on it's tail. This could be unrelated but I just wanted to ask to make sure. I will attach a picture of the fish that is showing the symptoms. I cannot see any obvious signs of any problems on the body other than the tail. If you have any idea what this could be it would be appreciated.
