Preggy Platy

[furryrabbit]

i recently bought 3 female and two male platies. 4 of them are calicos but one of the females is a rainbow.
will rainbows and calicos breed , if so - she ( named georgia) has been acting strangely , she is a bit plumper than i would usually notice her and when my two males come near her SHE CHASES THEM!
do you think this is pregnant platy behaviour? < if it means anything - ive been feeding them freeze dried brine shrimp and aquarian flakes ( crushed a bit smaller

hi,
males will mate with any colour female,the one who is plumper could well be pregnant,mine will get a bit grumpy when the time is almost there, you are giving them a good diet as i also feed mine the same, i also give them peas and spinach thats been blanched,make sure she has a hiding place then she will feel safe.
all the best donna .

Mine would chase any fish that got near her birthing spot starting about 4 days before her giving birth, and wasnt acting like that before, so maybe
