Hey there everybody,

I have 2 new RBP's, and they are only 4 weeks old, if that...anyway...all they seem to do is swim back and forth really fast at the back of my tank along the back wall...is something wrong with them? Anything I should do? I have a 20 gallon tank right now...

nope mine do that also until i got a power head. now they come into the current and swim in that . get a power head.

Thanks!

So then its just their way of getting exercise??? I have a bio wheel filter, and it has a decent current produced, adn they seem to go right for that current...is that all it is then?

i'd get a powerhead.. all my p's do is swim in the current.

If they are new that's just how they are adjusting to their new tank. All my piranhas did that, they'll stop in a few days

Ya thats what I thought it might be...but I've had em now for 2 weeks...

my caribes took probably a month to get used to their tank. el twitcho is right on that one. i would still get a powerhead though

normal, don't worry about it. I too suggest a powerhead, mine loved it.

 

[CanadianKeeper]

Thanks everybody, I was getting worried there...how much is a powerhead?

$15 - 30. (american)

...$20 - 35 Canadian, I would guess.
