Is it normal habit?

[PufferFreak88]

Has anyone experienced baby Indo Datnoid rubbing themselves against the subtrates of the tank? I mean they eat and all but every now and then I see them rubbing gills against the gravel and most of my other fishes in the tank don't do this. Is this a normal habit with the baby Indo Dats or is it water quality? I change 50% of the water every two weeks and my tank is running with a Rena xp3 and an aquaclear 110. Please tell me whats going on here.



Thanks


Kevin

I think what i thought was gill flukes was just a regular habit of theirs.

MaIntain regular wc's for a few months and they'll be fine. Remember , u just done 100% wc so they'll still not be totally comfortable as their water has been unstable recently.

Less u mess, they'll flick slot less in a few months.
