Hyperactive Platy

[Clarabel_louise]

Hi,

Can anyone advise? I've noticed that one of platies seems to be swimming erratically, her fins are going constantly and comparing her with my other female Platy this seems a bit abnormal. She has also taken to hiding behind the filter or in the cave that is usually the domain of the plec. These are new fish having been introduced recently although I have had kept platies for a while and never had any prolem before.

I also have two ember tetras in the tank along with two other platies and a plec.

Here's hoping someone can help!

Try turning off the light for a couple of hours it sometimes helps destress them
