Video Of Fish

[benjoey]

Heres a video of my harlequin rasboras I have just taken, I was wondering if this behaviour is quite normal?
They seem to be chasing eachother quite alot I'm not sure if his is in anywaay malicious, what do you guys think?
From everything I've read they should be very peacefull lol. The video was taken a couple of minutes after they were fed.



EDIT: Anyone know how to get this video to play in the browser rather than being a link?

Hi,

the behaviour is quite normal with them being new to the tank. They are probably trying to create a 'pecking order' although they may be just playing.

As long as they are not hurting one another or causing serious stress then I wouldnt be too worried, you should find they will settle down.

It can quite often take a few weeks for fish to become comfortable in their new surroundings.

they have been in the tank for 2 weeks now, they are hiding alot less and dont get as scared when I approach the tank, so I think they are getting alot more comfortable, I thought that it might be males chasing eachother but i dont know whch are male or female. They don't imjure eachother though. Maybe they are just establishing a pecking order, I am a little worried as I want to add more of them in the next week
