¿ B. Rainbowfish Swimming in Circles ?

I'm not sure if it's just one or two of my rainbows that do this, but I've witnessed it continuously swimming in circles. Is this normal? At first I thought it was a spawning behavior but it does this whether the other rainbows are there or not. Should I be worried?



He's making me dizzy

 

it looks kind of like he is stressed, have you changed anything in your aquarium recently?

 

He's new and the tank is infected with ich, although I noticed this happened a bit before the ich

 

hmm, if he's new to the tank he might just need time to settle down, otherwise I'm not really sure.

 

Turn off your tank lights to help him adjust and you shouldn't add fish if there is ich in the tank. He should calm down shortly after you turn off the lights. Keep them off a couple days before putting them back on. Floating hornwort will help him.

 

Off topic but where did you get your rainbow fish? Very pretty

It occurred after I added them I wouldn't add healthy fish to a sick tank.
