	How do you know your fish is stressed?
CyndieL73 Hobbyist Posts: 109 Kudos: 217 Votes: 31 Registered: 10-Aug-2004	I know we are supposed to watch for stress in our fish, but how can you tell? My platies all act differently. One swims near the top (about an inch below the surface) and just hangs out there. But sometimes she will just hide on the bottom, or sometimes will wildly swim all over the tank. I only have the 3 platies and the 10 frys right now, while it is cycling. So its not fright of the other fish. Thanks again.

When they are stressed and displaying characteristics that aren't normal for them, you will notice it.
