i have been really watching them closely because i had just been through a fungal deal a couple weeks ago. some of the fish had white fuzz growing on them...anyways i got some pima fix and mela fix and had it all cleared up. back to the story....
saturday night before i went to bed i looked them all over and they were fine. i had 3 full grown platy's, 3 baby platy's, 1 beta, and 2 cremecicle lyretail molly's. i woke up yesterday and i notice my 2 mollies had white fuzzy stuff on there fins. the platies looked fine and the beta was fine. i took the beta out and tossed him in the 10g i have. then i put in some salt and some pima fix.
fast forward a few hours....its gotten worse all the platies have it and the mollies have it on there eyes now too. at this point i am hoping they will be ok from the pima i just put in and there is nothing more i can do untill morning.
so this morning i wake up and i have 2 dead mollies, 1 dead platy, 3 dead baby platies, and the other 2 platies are on their way to fish heaven soon...they are covered with this white fuzz. it came on so fast and sudden. the beta i put in the 10g is happy as can be and has no sign of this fungus.
got any ideas? water has zero nitrites, less than 5ppm nitrates, and is showing some ammonia...it went through a mini cycle after my last fungal outbrake...i have been staying on top of the water changes to make sure ammonia stays as low as it can and to make sure they have fresh water. i cut back on my feeding because i am guilty of over feeding sometimes. im just dumbfounded as to how this happened and took out all my babies so fast.
