Weird behavior?

[Miyavp]

One of my ryukins recently became a sinker. So I had him in a floating breeder tank for a while so I could slowly remove the gravel from the tank. I recently released him from it and now my female ryukin has been hanging around the bottom near him. While he was in the floating breeder net she hung near the top by the net but I didnt think anything of it till now. Think she's keeping him company or something? My water params are all normal and I did a normal water change tuesday. Btw she's also gotten rounder and his breeding tubericles are back. Mating season??

Could be, males normally chases the female until the eggs are release, then He would fertilize them. How are his eating habits? Have they changed

Not that I could see. He ate just fine yesterday. They both did.

But the female is the one hanging near him. He cant chase her his swim bladders are damaged.
