Default Red mickey platy I believe

Yellow eyes, with black fins for dorsal and back fins. I have a female I think not like the other I have, keeps hiding in the skull, though seems lethargic at times, found her/him curled up almost in a half circle. Looked like it was dying though I put my finger to the tank wall and it swam away, though later didn't bother to move. I don't know what's going on with it, though right now as I went to the tank came out of the skull to swim. So I wouldn't have to pick the skull up.

neilfishguy...just wow...

tiko, that certainly doesn't sound like normal behavior. Have you checked your water parameters? New fish being evasive isn't unheard of, but curling up is odd.

Default I have

I have, nitrites are still out, though half tank change is scheduled for tomorrow. I didn't think it was normal, and Neil that was not very nice. But merely hides from time to time, comes out. Thought maybe that was how it slept. Maybe i'll do the half tank change tonight. Thank you scuba, I didn't like that comment.

Do you have any fish in your tank that could be picking on it?

What about your ammonia levels?


That was not a nice comment neil. I agree with Katie.

Default amonia levels

The other fish pretty much leave it alone, it comes out to eat other then that hides. I did a fifty percent change, didn't do a hell of a lot for the nitrites. They are still high, though am doing a 10 percent change today to the tank so i'm hoping to get things under control.
