Platy's digging?

[ccross]

I have 3 platy's that keep burrowing under plants and rocks in my tank. Is this normal?

Anyone? I'm really starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my fish. The dig down into the gravel and just lay there all day. As soon as I feed them they come out and act normal and then go right back to the gravel.

I noticed that every one that is doing this is a pregnant female. Could they be getting ready to have babies?

Usually females don't do that when they are about to give birth, but when they do give birth they will rest on something, how many female are you seeing doing this?

3 of them. They stay laying down until I feed them and then they act perfectly normal. All my other platy's are fine.

I dont think they are pregnant enough to be giving birth anytime soon. Pregnant enough to show though. I'll try and get some pics of them tomorrow when the lighting is better because I am new to breeding them. My first bunch of fry came out ok so I'm hoping to catch the next bunch in time.

I couldnt find 2 of my platy's just now so I moved my bubble bar and they had literally burrowed themselves underneath it. They are ALL swimming with their fins tight to thier bodies. Something isnt right,

Sorry for the double post but I just noticed that alot of them have whitish spots that almost look like mold or furry. It doesnt look like ick spots. What is wrong with my fish?
