My one aquarium of platies (also called moons) are dieing and I don’t know what it is from. I get them and they are healthy looking with no normal signs of being sick or stressed. They have the rounded bellies (like platies have), but after a couple weeks their bellies get flat looking and when I see that, they die within a day or two. I have had fish and aquariums for years, but have never seen this. I have done several treatments of binox (broad spectrum for illness) and also had done several treatments for external and internal parasites. But they contiue to look like they are just waisting away. I feed them good quality flake food, vegetable base foods, frozen brine shrimp, frozen blood worms, and frozen tubafex worms. Also put in fresh veggies for them to eat. I give them a well varied seletion of foods. My ph and ammonia levels are fine,as is all the other levels for a good healthy aquarium. Anyone have any idea what is happening? How to stop it?
