behavior....

[dannykerbles]

several of my fish are showing odd behavior signs.....
okay....a few of them like to swim pressed aganist the glass on the small side of my tank, near the air bubbler. They swim back and forth like they are trying to get through....my rasbora started it and several of them do it now....
The tank is still cycling and i have had high nitrite problems(i have posted about this in the beginners page,and getting good advice)...

?:is it because of high lvls or are my fish just strange?

sounds like they could be showing a few signs of stress from the water levels......have you been doing frequent w/changes to dilute the levels of nitrite in the tank?

hiya, thinjk what sue sed is the best bet, do 15% water changes everyday for abt 5 days, then test the water again. it could be the bad water conditions, but it cud also be that they are just gettin jiggy with the bubblewall.

ideally if the tank is still cyling u sudnt have a betta in there, especially when the water has a problem, as they are very weak fish wen it comes to bad water conditions. so just keep an eye on the betta.

i hope that they get sorted soon.

keep us posted!

Maybe they aren't getting enough air.
