I have a Female Blue Platy that was acting perfectly fine yesterday, and today when I came home, she is hiding in the back of the tank in between some Jungle Val and the glass. She's low, but not resting on anything. I've seen her move occasionally, so she's not dead. She just swam out for a brief moment when another Platy prodded her. She appears to be swimming fine. Nothing visibly wrong. No spots or red gills. No heavy breathing. But then she went right back to her hiding spot. I've had her for almost 3 months and there are no Male livebearers in the tank. Is it possible that she's been holding onto fry and/or sperm this whole time and is about to give birth?
There has been a major change recently. On Sunday I took out a school of Zebra danios that were always very crazy and constantly chasing and playfully nipping at other fish. I also added 3 more peppered cories to bring my total up to 5. So the overall mood in the tank has become a lot more peaceful.
29 Gallon
Moderate/Heavy planting
3 female Platys
5 White Clouds
5 Peppered Cories
5 Amano Shrimp
3 Nerite Snails
~100 MTS
