Hello! I have a little ten gallon tank that I've had for about a week and a half now. It was cycled rather quickly with Tetra Safe Start as well as two Longfin Leopard Danios. Recently added was a longfin blue danio and a longfin zebra danio who I understand are meant to all school together as if they are the exact same type of fish, because from what I understand, they pretty much are. I have two filters running, an internal ten and a power filter ten, as well as a little airstone pumping out bubbles. They also have a tetra 50W heater but I have a slightly higher quality one on order because people have said that the tetras tend to break and kill off fish. This keeps the water around 77 degrees F.
The danios love to play in the currents and they seem pretty healthy and never seemed stressed during my fish-in cycle (with daily twenty percent or so water changes). They have, however, developed this odd behavior where the two leopards seem to ceaselessly swim up and down the glass in the tank. If I drop food in, they very quickly dart up top to get it and then continue with their wall-skating. I was just wondering if this indicates that anything is wrong, or if it's simply something that Danios like to do?
This is my first tank besides a little three gallon betta tank I had for four years until recently, so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
