General Care Discussion :: Strange behavior?

[deedle32]

I have a small RES that seems to swim from top to bottom alot it seems a bit strange. It seems like he is also trying to get his own reflection in the tank. We are pretty new to the RES world so I don't know if this is normal or not any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

mine do that when I make changes to their tank....how long have you had him/her??

[deedle32]

Well we have had him/her for a couple weeks now, I did just do some things with their tank. Thank you for the quick response. My son was given a baby for his birthday and then we inherited 2 more babies from his aunt the one I am wondering about is one of the new ones. I have them in a 55 gallon tank and all seem to get along well at this point.

they are probably still getting used to the new environment. really its best to separate them as RES are a very aggressive species
