Harlequin Amusement Ride

[Dogface]

On my 20 I have a power filter and was running it on high to clear some junk. When I noticed that my rasbora were swimming into the current at the front of the tank. They were doing tail stands, head stands and rolls right before my eyes. They really seemed to be enjoying themselves. They even seem to wait in line to take their turn through the current. Really entertaining! I suggest it for anyone. You can really see the different personalities of each, One is the hog of the bunch, one is timid, another just keeps going after the others stop. Their colors are really vivid after their exercise. Thought ya'll might like to hear about it.

Take care...

Besides danios, I have never seen fish enjoy playing in currents as a school of chinese/gold barbs. These guys would do it non - stop. Pretty funny.

My cherry barbs love playing the strong current they get when I pour in new water. They are such cute and happy little fishies. ;D

That sounds really cool dogface! I was going to get some harliquens but I don't have a place for them now! I was going to put them in with my flagfish in my 29 gallon planted but they turned into devil fish instead so I just set the up a new 10 gallon planted. And in my 29 gallon I have some convict cichlids which I don't think would do to good with them. ;D
