|  Platy blowing bubbles? Well, yesterday I returned a male dwarf gourami that was extremely hostile. So now my male and female playties are enjoying the ability to swim around and not get chased and bullied. The male is constantly following, but not to the point of harassing, the female. ::whisper:: i think he is trying to make babies.  Well, i've noticed him come to the top and blow about 8 bubbles along the glass. The bubbles quickly pop, but I found this as very unusual behavior. It looks like he takes a gulp of air and pushs it out his gills. Jason |

| My platies have always done that too! They go on top, swallow some bubbles and then blow them out again after a few seconds. I'd always wondered if perhaps they're sick, but they're not - could it just be fun?

| Swiss, glad mine aren't the only ones that do it. i've been sick lately so i've been laying in bed watching the fish. and i was noticing both of them (but mainly the female) blowing bubbles. The female is also pregnant i believe since she is getting wider around the belly area. Jason |
