Fish Hanging Around Heater

[sam2793]

Hi,

Recently added 2 guppies to our new biorb 30 aquarium and both seem to just stick behind the heater. They have come out 1 or 2 times but apart from that, they just stay right behind the heater.
The temperature is 25oC so it can't be too cold for them.

Is something wrong or is it just because they are new and nervous still?

Any help appreciated

Sam

How much shelter is there in the tank? It may be the only thing they feel they can hide behind.

probably a bit stressed as they are new, give em a bit of time to settle in. i'm sure they will get more active

they could be heavily pregnant, my guppy hides behind the heater to give birth Lol, the extra heart "Loosens" them up to give birth lol!
