Hiya,
My platy I thought was pregnant, you could see the black area that you do in guppies, noticed other platies chasing her around last night (thought she was going to give birth), tonight have just fed them and noticed a reddish lump coming from her. Please help.

ammonia: nil
nitrite: just under 0.1
nitrate: over 200 (I know, am trying to sort it - new tank?)
kH: unsure yet, will know tomorrow
gH: same as above
tank temp: 26 C
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): fish behaviour is normal, eating as normal.

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: water softner, salt (planning to omit this), dechlorinator, ph minus
Tank inhabitants: guppies, blind cave fish, upside down catfish, platies, various tetras, kissing gourami
