Panda Barbs

[vanlaar]

I have a couple of panda barbs that are very cool. I think one is male and the other is female (one is slightly more colorful), but I am not sure. Anyways, they keep rubbing their sides on the bottom of the tank in the sand. Is this normal? It looks kind of playful, but i am not sure.

I have a loach that I thought had ich, because he kept rubbing and flashing. Turns out he's just looking for worms that hide in the gravel. I'd watch for symptomes before treating. Hopefully Oriongirl will know more and help you out. Good Luck!!!

I wouldn't consider that normal behaviour. sounds to me like there is something that is bothering them, so be on the look out. If you notice any more odd behaviour note it here and we may beable to help you out!
