Just set up my first aquarium! I’m thinking about putting some shrimp in here. Any tips?

Change in Platy behavior

Posted: 20 Mar 2021 03:36 PM PDT

I have two male and two female platties in a 10 gal tank. The water is good, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, between 5-10ppm for nitrates, ph is 7.5ish. Lots of live plants, java moss, java fern, crypts, dwarf hair grass, dwarf sagittarius, and an easy care taller plant I forgot the name of.

My platties in the past day or two have started chasing each other a lot more, and one female is often at the surface, looking like she is gulping air or like she is eating something invisible. A male often accompanies her at the top of the tank and just hangs out with her. She still dives and another and explores other levels of the tank though. But she chases the others away from her very often, other than the one male fish. The other pair hang out at the bottom a lot lately like they are avoiding them.

The only change was I put in two new plants (the tall guys) about a day ago and took one out that was not doing well.

Are they just reestablishing territory around the new plants? I'm not sure why else they would suddenly do this.
