Hello I'm new to this site so bare with me
I just bought a mickkey mouse platy today, and it has been in the aquarium approximately 5 hours. The problem is I have just came up to have a look to see how it is doing and it is not moving at all and at first it appeared to be dead, even when I put my finger next to it since most fish would move away it just sat there. It is breathing though and I've just noticed that occasionally it is randomly breathing bubbles out. Also it is sitting at the top of the tank if this matters.
A 25% water change was done last night and all the parameters seem to be fine so I don't think it could be the water conditions but I don't know. Could it be the stress from the move because I've just saw her move but for the majority of the time she is literally doing absolutely nothing and appears dead.
