.
I have 3 platy...2 female and 1 male and have been treating them for Velvet disease.
One Platy was gasping at the bottom of the tank last night a few hours after I added medication and increased temperature to 82 degrees so I increased the oxygen by adding an extra strong filter.
This morning the platy had vanished from the tank and I think he was eaten.
I also have a Plec and Blackmoor goldfish that are 5 times the size of the Platy.
The male platy has been bullying the missing fish for a few weeks now and she had just had some fry a few days ago when her conditiuon deteriorated.
I assume something ate the platy overnight after she died or showed signs of illness and wondered if anyone can throw some light on this.
Also can anyone tell me how much water my tank holds..it measures 31.5 x 13.5 x 16 inches...a Fluval tank.
I just bought it last week secondhand and was told it was a 125 litre tank but I think it may be smaller.
I was looking forward to my fish getting better and moving them to their new tank next week after the water sorts itself out.
