Why is my platy staying in one corner of the aquarium and floating on its side? Is it dying?

    Most likely. Could be an infection in the swim bladder or dropsy.

    If it has white specks on it (they look like grains of salt/sugar), then it has Ich, which will spread to all the fish in your aquarium. If untreated, Ich leads to death.
