After having cycled my 55 gallon tank, I went out and bought two yellow labs for the tank. I gradually acclimated them to the tank's water over the course of a half hour, then put them in the tank. Now that I've put them in, they seem to want to get out of the tank. They're swimming up and down the sides of the tank, as if trying to find a way out. Is this normal behavior for new cichlids? I have the tank furnished with rocks and everything, and the ammonia and nitrites are at zero, and the nitrates are also low. Are the fish just getting used to the tank, or should I be worried?
