my sunset platy is ready to drop i can see her gravid spot is much darker today. i noticed she is floating at the top lifeless like, is she getting ready to drop should i place her in another tank to save the fry ??

thats dosent sound normal in my experience with platys that are about to drop, have you got a pic of here and have you done a water test latley, if so can you post the results?
what are the tankmates?
i usaually see lots of activity, tho sometimes they do go quiet and hide, but im not familiar with them floating on the top lifless like, thats really sounds wrong
