Strange platy behaviour…is it mating behaviour?

Hello and sorry to bother you, I have tried several times to register so I can ask on the forums but can’t get it to work, I am very new to this hobby and therefore have no idea if the behaviour of my platies is normal or not. I have had them almost 2 weeks in a 10G tank that I will use as a QT when my 25G has finished cycling. The 10G they are in has cycled (I used some Bio-Spira, it must have helped) as ammonia and nitrite readings have been at 0 for several days now, nitrate is about 5. anyway…. just today my female platy has taken to resting on the sucker that holds the heater to the wall of the tank, so she is between the heater and the wall. She is actually resting on the plastic sucker. The male meanwhile is circling round and round from the top of the heater to the bottom and back up almost constantly. Is this some sort of strange mating behaviour?
