Hello. I'm new to this forum so I apologise for any stupid questions...Lets begin with one.
I have a small 20ltr tank. It's a LoveFish Concept tank and I have had it running for a week and treated the water over that time. 2 days ago I went out and bought 2 Danios and 3 Cherry Barbs. They are constantly swimming at the bottom, they never come any higher than about 3/4cm unless I turn the air pump off. Once I do this they freely swim around and seem very happy but once it goes back on they go straight to the bottom again.
Don't get me wrong I always keep my pump on but I just thought I would see if it made a difference if I turned it off.
I have tried turning the pump around to make sure the current isn't to strong and it hasn't made a difference.
Can anyone help or suggest what I can do please?? I want fish that swim around my tank not along the floor!!!
Thank you
