sunset platies

[bailey]

I bought 6 sunset platies 5 days ago and all but 1 just sit on top of each other in the bottom corner of the tank. They don't swim around or nothing. What is going on? Can anyone help? They don't look sick and at the pet store were swimming around. Thanks!

is your tank cycled? if it already is, try putting a little aquarium salt in the tank, this livened up my platies

I have a 29 gallon tank. How much salt should I use?

what does the bottle/box say? when i was picking out salt i noticed that they said to put different amounts in and the salt was also different sized so go by that. otherwise i think generally it is like a teaspoon for every five gallons but i always put in a little bit less, just to be on the safe side.

and let me know how things turn out!
