Is my red wag sick?

Answer by  Erica95 (323)

If he's lethargic, not eating, seems droopy, hanging out at the bottom mostly, has cloudy eyes, or faded colors then yes he could be sick. Other things to watch out for are fungus or growths on him. If any of these are seen you should put him into a new tank and then do a total water change.

Symptoms of illness in platys include red, white, or black spots or patches on the skin; bulging eyes; heaving gills; upside down, sideways, or otherwise odd swimming.
