Without any signs of illness and water conditions are good...it is just a guessing game.

Sorry I could not be any help and good luck with her.

i feared this. im not sure but i think her body may be slightly bent.
if so what could this be?

I've never recomended this before, if it were my platy I'd give it a salt dip, I don't even know why it popped into my head, I must have read it on here before...

thes were taken at 1800hrs. uk time.
ive looked up illnesses. and it sounds like swim bladder.

ive cooked some frozen peas, took the skin off and mashed the peas up. since she has eatten some, she is swimming normally. just going to have to keep my eye on her now.

I'd do a partial water change 25-30% just because and add some Prime or Stress Coat.

So you were new to fishkeeping in december and bought this fish in december?? How long was the tank setup before the platy was added?

i was given the wrong advice from the pet shop. i left my tank running fishless for a week. then the petshop said it was ok to add fish.
i added two plattys and two mountain cloud minnows. the minnows died after 1month but my plattys whave been ok up until now.

my tank finished cycling over one month ago.
i do realise now that i started wrong.
ive got a new tank that im cycling fishless until i put my plattys and guppies in.
