My new male well-grown Bownish White Platty died this morning. I bought about a week ago along with its Milky White Platty partner and had it with my other black platties. Everything seems to be fine till 3 days ago, this guy started to prefer the hide out. It used to come out when food is dropped but goes to hiding few minutes later.
This morning, i see it come for food, ate few and all of a sudden, began to be straight (head up, tail downward). It tried to jump off the water few times, fell down to the bottom only to re-attempt this again. After 4 - 5 such attempts, it feel down to the bottom of the acq. floor and died. I think this it became old and hence died. Not sure of the reason tho. All other fishes are all fine.
