Hi, i recently got a 20 gal tank and 2 Catfish. I Cant remember what they are but they are black. From the first day i had them until now (its been 3 days) they stay in the corner of my tank and seldomly move. When they do move they ram their heads into the corner repeatedly. Anybody ever have this problem or can help me out? Thanks
 

Heres a picture of one of them. What kind of fish is it? Also can anybody tell me why this particular fish keeps staying in the corner and ramming himself into the corner.
 
Because that is what they simply what they do when they get old or are they babies I don't know Catfish's are noctural they come out at night time if you want to see them swin better be staying up late and get the popcorn and watch them thanks
CORRECT ME I SPELLED WRONG.
 
put sumthing in the tank for thim to hide in
and thay may stop it
 
I need a bigger pic, those pics still come out small. They ram the glass probably looking for somewhere to hide. They are probably stressed out. If you give them a cave or something they will feel better but you probably will seldomly see them too. Make it a cave where you can see them. Most catfish are nocturnal. 3 days is nothing, after some time they will get used ot the tank and become more active. Dont stress out over it.


If you want an ID on them I need a better pic.
