hiya thanks for your reply,yes everything is as it should be,my tank has been running abit and my other fish are swimming around happily enough and my platy was till recently,just wondered if it may be pregnant and ready to give birth or summat,im not sure how to tell male and female,so cant rule it out yet,its a lovely platy it really is
 
well can you tell us your stats? ammonia,nitrite,nitrate and ph.
how long has it been set up, what is your stocking?
you can sex males and females by the fin that is below their stomachs, males have a tube like fin, where females have a fan shaped fin.
 
welcome to the forum Jane76. Its a crackin place with an answer to everything ha :good:

in relation to your platy if a fish is listless its usually an indicator that your waters not up to scratch, maybe do a few extra water changes see if that improves her... but test your water first
