Okay, thanks everyone. I'm probably just being a mother hen. I haven't had fish except the goldfish my kids brought home from carnivals. I'm completely freaked out they're going to die or that they're not happy. I guess I should lighten up!
Current too strong??

Feed your fish on the other side of the tank, and then try to feed them towards the middle as it will make the fish more active in all areas of the tank. My 55 community used to do this, but now swim in both sides equally.
Another reason they might do that is that the other side either doesn't have enough hiding spots or is too cluttered for the barbs too enjoy. I bet that the other side has very little hiding spots, and would reccomend adding more plants or decorations to the side they don't go to. If fish have lots of hiding spaces than they feel more secure and swim more actively because they know that they can escape in the event of danger.
Good luck, and can you provide a pic of your tank????
