Platy Swimming With Head Slightly Down

[goldfish98]

My Hifin Platy's head is slightly down. His tail is higher than his head. He also seems to act weird; as he shakes a bit more when he swims. What could be the problem?

He could have a swim bladder problem.  This can be caused by Goldfish Flakes and not Tropical Fish Flakes.  That happened to me and since I have switched food it hasn't happened again.  But I did read something the other day, it was called  The Shakes.  You can look it up and see if you fish has it.  I haven't really had any experience with this before.

Actually he is swimming normally again. Ol' shaky is a confusing lil fish...
