Help, Sick Platy

[fluffattack]

My red wagtail platy has been swimming in place for a few days and doesn't seem to be eating. Her belly/chest is protruding slightly, almost coming to a 'point.' I do know she's been traumatized the past couple of months because I had put down her 'buddy' because she was beyond any help I could offer. I've been able to diagnose my fish before but this one is eluding me. Please help.

 

[WILDER]

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Are her scales sticking out.
What do you feed the fish.
What does it look like when she goes to the toilet.
Any lumps on the belly region.
Is it possible to load a pic up onto the site of the sick fish.

15 gallon tank with 3 guppies, 3 mollies and 9 platies (7 are still quite young)
ammonia = 0
nitrite = <0.1 mg/L
nitrate = <10 mg/L
Ph = 6

the scales seem to be sticking out a tad, but only where it's protruding. she may have scratched it up shimmying herself into hiding places, that's what it looks like to me.
I feed them nutrafin max livebearer food along with frozen freshwater food (there's 4 different mixes).
i don't think i see lumps.
i couldn't tell you about the poop, she poops when she's hiding i'd guess.

Here's a picture, you can clearly see where it's protruding.

I treated the tank for fungus a few weeks ago, do you think that may have something to do with it?

Does it look like a lump where it's coming to a point. Lumps that go to a point can be cyst.
Never seen anything like that before.
Can you issolate as I would use a bacterial med.

Get you some info on shimmering.


Shimmies



Symptoms:

This disease is named for the curious behavior seen in afflicted fish. Fish will swim with an odd, shimmying movement of the body. If left untreated, the afflicted fish will become unable to swim and will sit on the bottom, listlessly shimmying. This disease affects mostly livebearers, and particularly Mollies.



Cause:

Cause unkown but may be due to a variety of numerous pathogens, including protozoan, bacterial, and fungal.



Treatment:

Isolate the fish in a hospital tank and increase the temperature to 85°F (27°C). Treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic. Also ensure that the water chemistry is within acceptable ranges. Livebearers' should always be kept in water that has a pH of 7.8 - 8.3 and a hardness of 15°DH+.
