Default Ill Mickey Mouse Platy

I have a ten gallon aquarium with two Von Rio Tetras, Two Corydoras, and two mickey mouse platies. the platies are a male and a female however my female seems to be sick. I bought the fish a week ago but i've had my cories for slightly longer. The first two days in my tank she was fine. Her fins were open and she was eating within a half hour of being in her new home. (i feed them blood worms and flake food everyother day) but now, she's not liking my tank or something similar. Her fins have all closed up for a few days she'd just been at the top of the tank and staying in the same spot and move side to side, unless i was feeding them and then she'd be happy to eat. And today i noticed that the part of her tail that's right before her fin is pale and she's now sitting at the bottom of my tank breathing with the male hovering nearby, which he also did when she was at the top. she still swims when she thinks there's food, but otherwise she's getting to know the gravel rather well. They seem close to full grown and i dont know if its a possibility that they are laying eggs already but i don't know. . . . also. . . she starts "[shadow=violet:a68a876968]spazzing[/shadow:a68a876968]" out every so often. which i saw a fish do at a pet shop and the owner said it sick( i think the disease was the "shivies" or something like that but i wouldnt count on that.) she moves if someone swims around her like if one of the cory does and im wondering if she's sick, what it could be if she is, and if i should separate her from my tank. i hope someone can help. i'd appreciate it. thanx.


cheers and good fishies!
