My New Harleys :)

deanoce · Sep 19, 2009

Hey guys, Has been a while but i just finished my cycle of a month or so and yesterday i bought the first fishies to go into my tank and i chose Harlequins, and they are extremely beautiful and i made sure i introduced them right and they were a bit scared when they got in and hid behind a fish volcano. I woke up this morning and saw them happily swimming and i saw one at the back swimming very heavily and i thought something was wrong with him so i checked the Ph and it was fine 10 minutes later they were all doing it and i just realized that they could be doing swimming training against the filter current and they are all getting in line to each have a turn

if this isn't normal then somebody please tell me but i hope there just having fun.
Thanks guys ,Deano

I think its normal,

my tiger barbs used to do that when they were small.

if your filter has a nosel turn it to the side.

What do you mean by nozzle ,do you mean a sucker nozzle or a blower nozzle because my sucker is just a water sucking sponge, i will post a picture when my camera is fixed ,

sponge filter are more suitable for fry .... er he means the output 'nozzle'
it just crates less of a current and will make your fish alot less tired
