My mollies are starting to demonstrate some very interesting behaviours. Not sure what's up... any of you seen these things before?
The male dalmation molly sometimes gets right up next to the glass (usually, though he's done it once or twice in mid water) and goes completely vertical, head up. He'll sit stil like that, let himself drop a bit, whatever he fels like. It's so odd looking. I hadn't seen my others do it, but now sometimes one of the female black mollies does it as well. I once saw them doing it together, and once saw two females doing it. Is this like facing off or something? He also does it by himself, though...
Another new behavioural trait is one of the female black mollies was next to the dalmation molly, he might have been showing a little interest but not very aggressively, and she started flipping her body back and forth like she was dancing or something. It almost looks like sometimes she is pursuing and showing off for him, instead of vice versa. I'm quite sure which are males and which are females, though! Has anyone else seen this stuff? What else do your intertaining mollies do?
