platy hell

[jnr102030]

I have had the platy for about 2 months and i seems the healthiest out the 3 but wen i wook up this morning i discovered lying on itside on the gravel pale white died wot cood have happened

it's paleness does'nt really indicate anything. all fish loose their colour when they die. have you checked your water perameters?

 

[jnr102030]

I am still cycling but ammonia is 0 bt nitrite is 2

That is probably the problem. The nitrite is really high, you'll want to do some water changes until you get that to come down

2 is EXTREMELY high for nitrite.

Do an immediate water change and don't add any more fish as of present!!!
