    Default Fish behaviour

    Hi

    Not a problem just a query, in my tank all of my fish stay to the right hand side of the tank occasionally swimming the length of the tank but coming straight back to the same side. Is something stopping them from going over to there?

    Cheers
    Adam

    think it's a preference / territory thing, certain fish inhabit certain areas of the tank, staying where they feel safest.

    Oh, thought it might have been a flow issue. Strange though as all of them are at the same side 90% of the time.
