Funny title, anyway.
My stock is in my SIG. I have 3 platies, and when I first introduced them to my tank the yellow one was the only one that was nervous. As time went on, it did come out and started swimming with the rest of the fish. In the last 2 weeks now, I've noticed during the day it hides behind my 3 plastic ferns near the bottom of the tank. Round about 7-8pm at night, it comes out and swims happily with no jerking, no jumping about. It swims all night long. When I get up in the morning 5.45am its hiding till I feed them. It feeds happily then hides again. Anyone know if this is normal, or is there something wrong?

Info on my tank
95l still cycling.
Fluval u2 filter.

Maybe it's the light. Try to provide some shade in there and hopefully he'll be out more. :)
