Hey there!
I have a sunburst platty whos about 4 months old and hes... small to say the least. Hes less than in inch long and quite thin. He doesn't eat much, often nothing at all. Its not like hes being bullied, the other fish stay away from him during eating time, but he likes to swim close to the others and not eat. Hes getting around fine, no random sinking or lethargic activity, just small. I got him in a group with 2 others (3 total) and they are all growing fine but compared to them he is tiny. Is this something i need to worry about or something i can fix. Hes been like this since i got him and i want him to grow and be happy. Thanks, Nele.
The image attached is a picture of the fish (in red circle) compared to his friend. Hard to see the difference on camera but irl he looks a lot smaller.
