 | Red Coral Platties |
MDB Enthusiast Posts: 168 Kudos: 80 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Jul-2003   | They are a very vivid and dark red.Is this a dyed or hybrid variety. I bought 3F and 1M for my community tank a month ago. One of the females passed away on Monday. As the light is on a timer i didn't notice the corpse until the evening, so Mrs Platty could have been dead for up to 16 hours. The reason I ask the question is that when I pulled the corpse out it was almost pure white in colour. Any ideas? |

I forget the exact reason why but they just do when they die. I think it has something to do with fungus.To answer your question, no they are not dyed fish. |
