lonley platy

Just a quick question I have a 6 gallon tank with 4 small platy in. however one of the male platy keeps hiding behind the filter is this normal?

Thanks

do you have a lot of hiding places for your fish? like decor, plants, etc. usually the more places they can hide or retreat to, the safer your fish will feel. other than that, does it look sick and does it eat regularly.

Yes the fish seems ok coming out to feed, no problems swiming etc....

There is a few hiding place but nothing major.

try throwing in a few silk plants (if your using fake plants) if it looks fine. one of my female tetras constantly hides because of harassment from males, but otherwise it is healthy. i'll probably need to get more females to balance it out.
