Weird behaviour on baby Senegals.

[Egemen]

So I am pretty new to keeping Bichirs so sorry if this is a stupid question.
My baby Senegals have been acting weird lately. I keep seeing them swimming against the current of the filter and even breaching and jumping out of the water a couple of times. Now I have a lid so not worried about them jumping out but what could be the reason ? Are they stressed ? Playing ? So far they are still eating like the little gluttons they are.

Juvenile Senegal will do that and tend to instinctively stay near the surface.
