A few days ago i took in a male platy from a sub-optimal home. I am currently quarantining him and I noticed something odd. Whenever i see him swim he appears to be wiggling side to side as if against a strong current, but there is no strong current in the tank. He does not appear to have any external issues, but spend most of the day hiding in the back of the tank. 

Parameters are:

nitrate:0

Nitrite: 0

pH: 7.4

KH: 300+

Chlorine: 0

Any ideas on what is going on?

@GoofyGarra Possibly a disorder of the nerves.
