I recently rescaped my 55 planted and took out a large plant that shaded the right side. This opened up a lot of swimming room. My Harlequins became more active. My rummynose then became obsessed with the right side of my tank. Even though they had lots more swimming room they weren't taking advantage of it. I thought that was strange and I figured they were just getting used to the new layout. A week went by and still they hung out on the right side of the tank. I didn't worry about it too much. Another few days passed and then I began to think that this was really strange. I observed their behavior and I noticed that they mainly did this when the light was on. I couldn't figure it out then I thought "duh" the light creates more reflection on the glass. They were looking at their own reflections and admiring themselves. Well not really because they probably thought it was another school of rummynose but I thought it was funny. I held my hand against the side of the glass and they all swam around like normal. I have taped a piece of paper on the side of the tank now and the rummynose are going all over the place.
