Platy Staying To The Bottom Of Tank

  • #1
So recently my platy has been laying low and I’m not sure why. I just recently went through a restart of my nitrogen cycle however right now it is under control.

Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrates 5 ppm
pH 8.2

I have a 10 gal tank with 2 other platies and a snail.

How long has this behavior been happening?

A couple days now

The platy still comes up to eat however and she hangs at the top of the tank. She just looks oddly thin to me but I Truely don’t know what it could be. I handled the recycle very quickly and have been treating the tank with prime. Also no obvious signs of disease.

Could possibly be stress Since there are no species in the tank that the platy could be hiding from. Also is the platy a male or female? What are the other platys?

They are all female
