Hi there
I have a community tank with some tiger barbs, danios, and 2 female and 1 male platys. Over the past couple of days my male platy (who just happens to be quite a bit smaller than the females) has been hanging out at the bottom of the aquarium and not eating very much.
Prior to this he used to be a pretty active swimmer and would join in the "feeding frenzy" at the top of the water when I put in the food.
I know that he can swim when he wants to, he doesn't seem distressed and aside from my regular water changes I haven't changed anything about my aquarium.
Is this something that commonly happens with platys or is he sick?
What should I do? I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!
