Aquarium Advice Addict
I have a 20 gallon high tank with 65w PC 50/50 bulb on it. I've had this "problem" with my fish since the tanks inception in Feb of this year.
Here's the problem. My tiger barbs and cherry gold checkered barbs stay almost exclusively at the bottom of the tank (this has caused losses of 2 out of 3 of my cory catfish). I cannot imagine this is a health issue but can anyone help me out?
I have an Aquaclear 50 HOB filter (which is a bit overkill for this tank size) and I have it running on the left hand side (in hindsight would have preferred to have it dead center in the tank). I have a powerhead which I run infrequently so this is a non factor.
I was under the impression that my barbs are midlevel fish, but NO one, except during feedings, comes even 1/2 way up the tank unless being chased.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
