Hey folks,
I have been setting up a 135g planted tank for the past two months. It is looking quite beautiful. Fish include Angels, gouramis (young specimens), along with tetras: 25 gold tetras, 8 pristella tetras, 8 marble hatchetfish, 8 penguin tetras, glowlites, and kooky ottocinclus. The problem is that these fish seem to be having a wild time. Swimming about, non-stop, all over. They seem to be on some sort of drug. Is this a sign of a happy young fish? Most planted tanks I see are tranquil, with tetras sort of hanging about. As the plants mature and my fish age, will they chill out a bit? I am hoping for a tranquil environment. Right now it seems like a school play ground, lol. Thanks, bodhi:)
