So today i was watching my fish and didnt notice anything odd or abnormal, I came back after being out with some friends to finde one of my plattys in my 10 gallon stuck to the filter intake, i got the net and got him out.
I was looking him over to check things out, didnt notice anything.

My water tests out at
Ammonia-0
NitrIte- 0
NitrAte-10
Ph-7

Does anyone have any ideas on what could have happend?

I will give more info if needed.
 
maybe he just got stuck to the filter intake, struggled to free himself, but got exhausted to death and gave up!
 
A healthy platy would not have problems with getting stuck to the filter intake. I would suspect injury or illness. Keep an eye on your other fish for signs of illness.
 
Ok he has a few other plattys as tank mates, an upsidedown catfish and a betta.

Its a 10 gal that has been set up for about 2 months now, 30% water changes are done every 5-7 days.

All the other fish in the tank are acting normal, eating swiming and "playing" as usual.
