Greetings all,
One of my Platies has been hiding on the bottom of my tank for a couple days. Gasping/hyper ventilating and not interested in food. She seems to move a little, but only from one hiding spot to another. All other fish seem perfect. Problem first observed after installing a new Fluval 206 Canister Filter and a LED Bubble Curtain. I'm also still running the old HOB filter at the same time, so that's 60Gal worth of filtering for my 20Gal.
Ideas/advice?
Here are some other stats:

Ideas/advice?
Here are some other stats:
- Type of fish afflicted? Platy (living with 8 other Platies and 6 Rainbow fish who all seem perfectly healthy)
- Tank parameters? All levels at zero or in the save zone
- Tank Size: 20Gal setup for about a month
- Filter: HOB and a new Fluval 206 Canister Filter. Both running at the same time for now.
- Water changes done every 3-7 days of about 40-50% with a gravel vacuuming.
- Diet of preimum brand flakes has been consistent since day 1
