24th Feb: We introduced 3 of these in the tank (2 females, 1 male). They usually recommend 1:2 ratio. Look at the fin to differentiate between male and female. The male has its fin pointed, where as in the female it fans out. Water test indicated high level of nitrite. Adding aquarium salt (non iodized) prevents nitrite poisoning, reduces stress levels and could also treat certain diseases.
- 10% water change, replaced water in the tank and added aquarium salt.
- Placed red wag platy in the tank.
- Next day: one of them started itching itself against gravel and other decor items in the tank. It seemed as if it was suffering from Ick or Itch. A day later, another platy showed the same symptom.
We did 25% water change, added aquarium salt, removed carbon from the filter and put one ick tablet. It turned the water greenish blue for a while. I hope they all survive.
