It is a good sign. A male livebearer will "sniff" at the female to make sure that she is really the right species for him to breed with. If so, he will proceed to do what is needed for your next fry drop.

Maybe she was complaining of a headache, so he tried something new?

Will they breed soon also if u see the dark gravid spot is that a good sign she is pregnant

The fish have probably already been breeding. You posted this thread yesterday after all. The dark spot either means that she is carrying fry or that she is eating well. The greediest female in the tank will always be swollen and quite dark at the gravid spot. She may or may not be carrying fry though. It is one of the main reasons that I go by shape, not size or color.
