Zebra Danio Swimming Against Hob Current

[trit0n2003]

One of my zebra danios has picked up an interesting habit today of rigorously swimming against the HOB current for extended periods of time. This last session has lasted over 10 minutes and thought i'd ask around if anyone knows about this.

Is this just him/her playing around or exercising or is it a sign of some sort of illness?

Completely and utterly normal, just having a bit of fun.

my danios have been doing it for weeks, for hours at a time. they love it

They normally live in fast flowing streams in the wild, so the current is just what they love!!
My I have a powerhead in my tank that comes on for an hour every day and they love it.
