It's that magical time for my guppy Lola again - she's about to have fry any day now. I notice that when my guppies are just about ready to give birth, they hover at the surface of the back corner of the tank.
This time, one of my platies has decided to join her. This platy never hangs out very long at the surface, except for feeding. She's healthy and other than very closely following Lola around, she's behaving normally. She may also be pregnant, or maybe she's just waiting for Lola to give birth to her next meal.
I'm sure it's nothing to worry over. It just struck me as quite unusual, because these two particular fish never hang out together. I'll keep my eye on them anyway, waiting to see the latest batch of fry!
