My fish swims laps

[lyquidphyre]

Last night I realized that my female rasbora swims laps around the tank. She goes around the bubble pump thing, behind the filter tube, behind the heater, behind the other bubble pump tube thingy and does it all over again. I took a brief video of it on my camera- ill see if I can post it because it amuses me. She does this ALL the time.

I named her Zippy =o)

Im going to try to take a better video but she even makes the sharp, chrisp turns at the corner *snickers*

Hahahahaha stupid fish! I watched it, and all I can think of is giving it some audio; preferrably taken from a horse race (Rasbora is rounding the far turn, and here she comes down the stretch...).

Hrmm...makes me just as stupid huh LOL

 

[lyquidphyre]

haha whats make it even stupider (if thats even a word) is I will prolly get bored enough to do that hehe

 

[mgkaelen]

Its screaming for you to give it more room because it dosn't have the room it needs to expell its energy [ See also: Excuse to buy larger tank ]

That's a pretty cool video! I watched and imagined Allivymar's "horse race audio". Wow, that fish is fast!

 

[madasafish]

I had a young Guppy that would constantly try to swim into the outlet tube for my canister filter. It was super cute to watch, eventually it smartened up

Oh that's such a great video! I could watch that over and over.

My rosy barb does that too. It's super funny at times, but completely dizzying too!

I like that one comment about buying a bigger tank though. Hmmm. LOL
