Re: I'm new any helpful advice?

Welcome to FishLore Platys tend to behave like that at times, if theres no visible damage I wouldn't worry about it.
But I am concerned that your tank is overstocked. 28L = alittle over 7 gallons.
The gouramies need at least a 10G tank and the angels at least 20G. Angels and gouramis can be a bit aggressive and as they grow will most likely attack each other due to being crowded.
How long has the tank been set up? Is it cycled?

Re: I'm new any helpful advice?

ok thanks for the the help but the fish are only about 1 inche at max now so when they do grow larger I'm planning to have a much larger tank by that stage it has been set up for 1 month ore so yes it heated and cycled and the gouramis are dwarf gouramis Callum!
