Datnoid Question

[Nemesis]

I just purchased 2 Datnoids yesterday, and one of them keeps swimming on it's side. It's able to swim straight, but is frequently sideways. Is this normal, or could it be the swim bladder. It's about 3", and I'm told is an AT. Here's a pic.

Yeah they do swim on there side and lay on there sides....Dats do that trying to hide sometimes when scared but sounds normal to me.

I agree.Mine likes to come out to the center of the tank and lay on its side on the bottom while looking up at the water surface.

All normal.

Thanks. I wasn't too worried, I thought it might be normal.

sounds normal. expect that for a little while before they get used to the tank
