maybe it's cause they are ANNOYING... j/ktcarswell;2831845; said:My fish (my new Africans) About 3 out of the ten of them spend half their time nose rubbing and running around against the glass. My parameters are perfect. There is nothing wrong with their water. Plenty of filtration but it seems there is always a fish nose rubbing and it bugs the hell out of me. This is 8 African cichlids and a poly sen Bichir in a 55 gallon.
The Bichir does this as well . They are also all fed very well
Im wondering if the light being on 12 hours stresses them or what? Theres plenty of hiding spots big caves little caves a fake hollow log... This is really irritating
Thanks all ,

Why are my fish nose rubbing the glass?
- Thread starter tcarswell
- Start date
Flashing could be flukes. Ive seen different fish rub the glass or swim up and down or back and forth from it. I think its just normal. My Blue Acara swims from one side to the other in the back of the tank alot of the time. He stops only to eat or if something else distracts him.
