Crazy mollies

[Wes910]

I have a new fresh tank bout a week old. It has 4 mollies in it. I have noticed my fish have been swiming for wild...they really done rest?...is there something wrong making them swim soo crazy?....dont they ever stop to rest?

if they are like mine they will swim up and down the back and sides of the tank for hours, but yeah I am looking at one of them now chilling out, floating in place. The first time you see one asleep you will think it is dead...scared the crap out of me...found him wedged in between a plant and the back wall.

They may need time to acclimate.

Also (I love feeling like an old pro when I say this ) did you cycle the tank first or are you in the process of it? Get the Doc Wellfish master test kit and keep a close eye on the water readings...I wish I had done mine about 3 weeks sooner and read this board...

Wes, please post your water parameters. My Mollies are a more relaxed, but YMMV
