My platy keeps going for a wee nip at all the females whenever they get close when she's swimming about? Never seen it before
I never seen her act like that the first time around, she last gave me fry 2 weeks ago today, I wasn't prepared the first time she did but have since bought a good few plants, i am hoping to try and save some, I have put a blue light cover on my lights to dim it a bit but other than that there's only an on/off switchFemales tend to be a little touche' the closer they get to giving birth. She may be tellling the other fish to keep their distance. Are there plenty of hiding places in your tank? Are you planing on saving any of the fry? Try dimming the lights to help her relax. If she relaxes and feels safe it will be easier for her to give birth and less stressful. Many live bearers die giving birth due to stress.
