Hello, I'm new here and also very new to fish. We started our tank with guppies and they all died. We treated the water with a fungus/parasite treatment and about a week later got 4 platies. 3 Sunburst and one Mickey Mouse (by accident but we love her just the same) Well she's always acted a little different, not as active, but not inactive by any means, she just acts like she knows she's different lol. I got up this morning and she was sitting at the bottom of the tank. It took her a while to get to the top, but I've noticed that sometimes they are slower in the mornings (maybe just my imagination but I seem to be waking them up sometimes) Soon she was swimming around like the others, but I did notice that one of her side fins is shorter than the other, so she swims a little crooked. I don't think this is new, I think I am just noticing it for the first time now.
Should I be worried that she has some type of illness, or do you think she is just somewhat deformed? Is this a typical problem in platies?
