imageimage Does my platy look bloated to you? A couple days ago, I noticed he was having a hard time staying in place without actually swimming. The second his fins would stop, he'd start to float almost vertically. But then he'd start swimming and he'd be fine. This morning, I noticed he looked very fat (worse than my pregnant platy). Does it sound like he's bloated? I have him in a separate container floating in his tank, since I don't have a quarantine tank. (I promise I'm getting one this weekend.) I was planning on fasting him for a couple of days then to feed him a shelled pea and hope for the best. Thanks for all your help!
I'm fairly certain it's a he. He has the pointed anal fin. And I know my other Platy who is pregnant didn't grow this quickly. But other than not being able to stay still, he's still acting completely normal. He's kind of a bully of the tank, and up until I separated him, he was still chasing around the other Platys and doing his thing.
Okay in that case I would fast him and try the deshelled pea plan. He could be developing swim bladder too.
