All My Fish Are Swimming On The Left Of My Tank?

[noshybabs]

Away from the filter and the heater? Its really odd? there all crammed up in there but half the tank is empty?

they're scared or don't like something.

either the flow from your filter is too strong, your heater is malfunctioning and that side of the tank is too warm, or there's something in the decor that makes them feel safer on the other side of the tank.

I recently planted lots more plants on the left, I guess they settle out when they want to.
I guess the phrase "Mad as fish" has some truth to it.

Could just be they feel safer there. I used to have all my (imitation) plants at the back of the tank, and hardly saw most of the fish. Having now moved a couple of small plants near to the front, the fish swim much more freely throughout the tank.

My three guppies like to swim on the right side of my tank... They heater and filter on the left side. They do swim on the left side, but they like to go inbetween the plants on the right side.

I plan on getting some plants on the left side soon, I'm just a little tight on cash being a college student and all.

Is the side they are swimming to against a light coloured wall or a window? They sometimes swim toward a light....just a thought

What fish are u keeping?

Some small cichlids like kribs' and apisto's spawn quite easily and will guard the eggs and scare all fish off.

angel fish are good at this as well.
