Lonely Platy..pls Help!

[platy83]

I have just had my first aquarium for 3 weeks and I am really concerned with one of my platys. I have 5 in all, 4 are velvet wag (1 male and 3 female) and then I have an all yellow female platy (sunset?). Anyway she is really shy, she hides in the bushes most of the day and I only see her eating the plants, not the flake like the rest. What should I do? Should I get other platys that look like her?? Pls help!

Hi,

I cant help you I am afraid, but if you move this question to the 'Beginners Question' section. I am sure someone there may be able to help.

Welcome to the forum.

We have several platies that don't look the same two orange one calico and one sunset but none of them hide out and they all hang around together so I don't think it's that she needs one's that look like her. Maybe she's being bullied and that's why she doesn't come out. keep an eye on her for any signs of disease as well.
