I was wondering if a female rainbow, that cant find a place to drop her eggs will exhibit odd behavior. ie. not eating or swimming near the surface. Water params are pristine, and she can swim down so its not swim bladder. She just doesnt want to. Im just wondering because my female is doing this but I have only fake plants. So maybe she cant lay her eggs on them.??? Im grasping at straws here, cuz I cant figure out why she is acting so oddly.

Any thoughts are apreciated
 
Why move to oddballs? Rainbows are Atherinids and belong in the Characins, Cyprinids&Atherinids section :p
 
Many Rainbows spawn in floating plants, or floating spawning mops. If she is carrying eggs, and ready to spawn, hanging around the surface looking for something suitable isn't overly suprising.

Not eating on the other hand, is not a good sign. Is she in good condition otherwise?
