Red Platy On Bottom

[bearfreeman]

Hi all,

I have a red platy who's been lying on the bottom of the tank for a few days, able to swim up for food but then sinks down to the bottom. I put a dose of swim bladder stuff in but no improvement. Wonder if the poor thing's constipated? Any ideas?

Thank you.

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate, and ph.
Try some shelled peas as well.
