My favourite fish is sick.
She's a female platy that I got last June (my very first fish). She's in a 64l tank with 2 other female platies and 5 neon tetras.
The water parameters are all normal, but about 2 months ago we moved house so they all went through a pretty stressful experience.
She's developed a white mark above he left eye and a couple of smaller white marks around the eye. It's not a small dot/grain like ich and there's nothing cotton-wool-ish growing to suggest a fungal infection. It's more like a white sore. She's still eating normally, but she is clamping fins and spending quite a lot of time hanging around behind the filter.
I'm at a complete loss as to what it could be or how to treat it as I don't think it's ich or a fungal infection. I've increased the temperature from 24 to 26.5 and plan to buy some aquarium salt in the hope that this helps, but any thoughts on what medicine I could try would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jez
