RE: Fluttering angelfish

[Eleonora]

I bought 4 angelfish yesterday and today I've noticed that they are acting quite strange. They was swim about, look for food, then all of a sudden stop and shake their bodies about really quickyl, then just go right back to exploring the tank.

Do they have itch? They are not rubbing themselves against anything and they don't have white spots on them.

Anyone have any ideas?

What type of music do you have in the background?

ALASKA

not sure if this is the problem...

but in one of my aquarium books it says the cichlids communicate using body gestures, so they could just be "talking"
