How old is your fish (approximately)? I bought her in June, and she was fully grown.
This tank DID have a case of suspected TB in a male guppy in May, and I have had no problems since.
That's it for my adult female platy.
I had another question. I have about 12 play fry left, and I think 4 of them are deformed (bent backs). What do you think I should do with them? I can't keep them in the 10 gallon forever as it is alreay over-stocked, and I'd like to keep the Large KK 10 of he fry are in to stay as a hospital tank. Some of the non-deformed fry will be leaving soon.
