Whats the purpose of the salt for platys in a fresh water aquarium?

Salt is commonly added to livebearer tanks because many of the livebearer species were originally collected/discovered in slightly salty water.
However, platys are freshwater and don't like salt in the water. Mollies like salt in the water. That's one of the reasons they shouldn't be kept together. (The salt softens the water, to a degree.)

How can I make platys that are just lying on the bottom of a fresh water aquarium become more active?
If I had fish (platys) lying on the bottom of my aquarium I would be checking the water temp and quality. There must be something wrong. A water change will probably help but don't forget to equalize the temps and other parameters otherwise you may shock and kill your fish. I agree with the above. They need warm water (not room temp), about 72-82 degrees.
