Hi all this site looks great!! I got a 20 gallon tank last week. I picked up two types of fish, 3 cherry barbs, and 3 hi-fin platys. So here's my questions/concerns. I know my tank is still cycling, but yesterday and today I have noticed that the cherry barbs are staying near the top of the tank and the hi-fin platys have their dorsal fin flat and they seem to lay at the bottom of the tank and then all of a sudden get a quick boost of energy. Are my fish stressed because of the cycling? or what. I am confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
