2 days ago I got 2 new platy's. one of them is doing quite well but the other is having some problems. she is not nearly as active as the other fish and spends a lot of time lying about. also, when I feed the fish she starts swimming around with the others but she never actually eats anything? its almost as if she can't find the food.
also, I was looking at her today and noticed that she has a "lucky fin". her fin one side of her body is much smaller than her other fin and it seems to cause her some trouble with swimming. could she have gotten fin rot at the pet store?
the other funny thing I noticed is that the scales along her back are sticking up.
I removed her into a smaller tank if only to give her a chance to eat something without the other 3 little piggies snatching it up first. I also put some 'cure all' for fin rot (technically made for bettas I guess) into the tank with her. I know that the scales sticking up is not a symptom of fin rot but its all I could come up with.
if anyone could give me an idea of what to do with her I would really apreciate it.
Thanks!
