Whenever fish start behaving strangely, the first thing I do is check the fish out for any kind of spots or damage on its scales or fins. I also test the water for Ammonia and Nitrite and do a large water change if there is any present. Of course, the fish could be hiding from or may have been bashed by a bully so observing the tank closely for a while is also a good idea.

∙ 10y agoIt could be for a variety of reasons other than resting such as water quality. Make sure you are testing your tank water for nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia which should be less than 10, 0, and 0 respectively.
If these numbers are different, do an immediate water change of at least 50 to 75% making sure that the new water is the same temperature as the old water, and that you use the recommended dosage of water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle.
Also test your PH level as it may be too low for the fish; the water change should also help raise this number.

Why is my phantom fish staying in one corner is it because it scared because i just bought new molly fish or because its pregnant?
If your fish is pregnant, it would look larger, and there would most likely be little eggs in the bottom of the tank. If your Phantom Fish is a male, and so is your Molly, then most likely the bigger fish is 'the ruler' of the tank. Try putting your phantom fish in a different aquarium, and if it seems happier, keep it there.
