I have this one swordtail female that's done this before and she's been doing it for the past three days now. She just lays down on her stomach, flaps her fins, and doesn't move much unless I go near the tank or it's feeding time.
I'm sure this isn't healthy, but I have no idea what the problem is since none of the other fish are acting weird and it's something this particular fish has done before and come out of no more worse for the wear.
I am about to check my water quality (I know, should've done that before even posting), but I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I know I have, but it was usually with a scrawny male that died the next day.
EDIT - Ammonia not a problem and the pH is still at the neutral that these fish have been living in since I've had them. Those are the only two test kits I have.
