  • Why do fish.....

    I'm looking at my tank and I wonder why fish swim up and down against the glass or around in circles around the circulation pump

    This is something I've always wondered.
    I had a cytrocara morrii , blue dolphin hap, and he did this constantly, as well as our clown loaches and clown fish.
    Maybe barametric pressure changes?

      I have read that swimming up and down in a line is the sign of a happy fish opposed to swimmin n a straight line.... but up and down aginst the glass mabey they think there is some way to keep going.... i had a figure 8 puffer that did it so much it had wore its top lip thin and when he would go down it would jerk its upper lip up kinda felt bad but.. I DUNNO... kinda crazy

        I don't know about all that, but I've heard several times that it was a social behavior
