Pregnant Platy.

Hey guys, I have a pregnant platy, that is due for her babies this week. I was wondering if it's normal for her to just mozy around the tank, like she's really weak or something. It looks like it's not hard for her to swim around, it's just that she just doesn't want to, and isn't trying. Is it normal for her to be lazy, and keep away from other fish before birth like this?

Most fish slow down before they give birth. Staying away from other fish is a classic sign she's getting ready to give birth.

Just keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn't go downhill. What fish are in the tank with her? Is it possible she's getting any aggression from them?

I don't think she is. The fish I have are in my sig, and they're all really peaceful. Although, there's a tiny peace of her tail fin missing, but I tihnk I got her like that. But anything is possible, but I'm 99.9% sure, no one is harassing her. Hoep she's ok. She's not eating either.
