My male platy just recently started flicking himself on my Anubis plant leaves.
At first I thought it was ick itch but he shows no signs of anything and then pieced together I just added a female. I looked up courting and it resembles what I saw. He goes up to the plant and then swiftly rolls against and flicks the leaf. Only this plant.
I just added a new female molly to and he seems to do this as soon as either female is there, both molly or platy. The molly seems to reciprocate this.
Is this normal behavior? Should this be in the sick fish forum?
