Hi,
Please can anyone shed some light as to why my platy has been in hiding and not eating, her fins are also closed and if she comes out of hiding she stays close to the gravel just floating, this is the 3rd day Iāve noticed this behaviour. Iāve got another 5 female platy fish in the 60l tank and all seem fine and happy. Water quality was fine Tuesday but I did a 25% water change yesterday just in case (Iām out of strips to test again, more ordered)
I have noticed the other platy chasing her around from time to time but I think they all chase each other at times so I donāt think itās a case of bullying but I have a small tank with 14 fry in I could transfer her to for a while (the fry are big enough not to get eaten now) but if sheās sick I donāt want her to contaminate the fry.
Any advice muchly appreciated.
