Not sure why my fish are being a little crazy

Anyone got any insight on why my fish are acting a little crazy? I have 3 clown loaches,two big silver dollars,two bala sharks an a algae eater (him excluded)they are shooting back an forth across the bottom of the tank they have never all been together until yesterday an it's a 60 gallon aquarium.the clown loaches always hid before I moved them they were in a 20 gallon any insight would be great thanks

 

More information would help find out the problem.

Can you test the water for nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia? Temp? How long had the tank been setup and did you move just the loaches in or all of them together at one time? Are the flashing (scratching themselves on the decor/substrate)?

A few things come to mind with erratic swimming behavior. One is bad water quality and/or parasites. Another and more simple explanation is turning on the lights too soon, this can scare the fish and make them freak out.

 

Tanks been going for a little over a week,waters perfect an so is the temp,an no scratching at all,I put the loaches in a day before the other four in,plecos been in there for a few days now aswell,I've always done 12 hr cycles with the lights aswell

 

Are you sure the water is perfect? One week isn’t long enough to completely cycle a tank, the bacteria need food (ammonia/nitrite) and time to multiply so they can keep up with the bioload from the fish. Only way to instantly cycle a tank is by seeding it with cycled filter media and even then it’s common to go through a mini cycle.

If you could, list the number results for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate and the kind of test kit you are using.

Generally, when fish start acting off I always recommend a 50% water change just to be on the safe side.

 

I meant a month got them mixed up my bad,got another going aswell lol I will list everything when I get home

 

Are these guys all babies or full grown? You have some BIG fish in a tiny tank if theyre full grown. The Bala Sharks alone need double that at minimum.

 

I figured it out there wasn't enough ornaments an no background I did all that an everyone's perfect now that is everyone,an Duane there in a 60 gallon an I got 125 setup yesterday an running for when they do get big enough rightnow there balas about 6 inches long.an the loaches are 3-4 inches
