There's something fishy going on... every bit of pun intended. Pustulio, my black molly, keeps getting a fluffy fungus on her body. I move her to the 10 gallon quarantine, do a few salt baths and in days she's fine. Move her back and in a week or two start over. Hmmm. There are no visible illnesses going on with any of the other fish. Key word is visible.
Which brings me to my next case: I have lost all 3 of my panda platies. No clue why. Just found them floating one day. In addition to small platy baby going missing and Thing 2 passing on.
So with the recent tradgedies, I bought 2 mollies and 3 hi-fin platies from Petsmart yesterday. I know, I know. I'm taking a big chance buying from there. All 4 are in the quarantine tank and were actively exploring the tank. The mollies (male silver and female black) have yet to be named. The black one looks identical to Pustulio, size and everyting! Tom named the platies. One is yellow with black fins (just like Gloria was) is named Glorybee. The other is orange and black like my other hi-fins but has black spots on the body. Tom has dubbed this one "disease". One day at a time, we'll see how these ones fare.
There is a 5th edition in the past couple weeks. I found what I presume to be a platy baby in the 10 gallon tank with Pustulio. I haven't had a platy in that tank in ages... and I can't imagine it's Pustulios. Quite a mystery...
