Re: fish acting strangely!?

Well a little more detail is needed before we can try to make a guess. What are your water parameters, specifically ammonia, nitrates and nitrites? How often do you do water changes. Was anything done to the tank recently, or anything added to it? We need to know the conditions in and around the tank.

Re: fish acting strangely!?

Craig I know you live in UK, and I too. The weather has been very hot. My fish are not swmming as much as usual ither they just seem to be hovering and not moving like yours. The Danios in my tank are all huddled together but the neons are resting at the bottom. What is the temperature of your tank? If it's too hot try floating some ice in a zip tight / food bag on the surface of the water. It's working for me.
