is this normal for 2 babies Tig keep swimming upward. Seem like they try to get out. They start to eat this afternoon with blackworms and shrimp but the position they swim keep me worry.

that also happend to my TSN when he was small. It probably will be fine.

my tig was doing that for a few days. it finally found its home under a piece of driftwood that gets a lot of water flow from the filter.

they r currently in a 15gal tank, temp is about 80-82F. I'm so happy when see them eat. 1 eat shrimp and the other eat blackworms. I think i will add a driftwood for them to feel safe.

My 4" Juruense does this as well, but he does it when lights are out, eating fine and seems healthy enough though.

I was also a little worried by it, but I dont think its anything to worry about, gives you a chance to check the belly out to see how much they have eaten as well.

My 5" jur does this also and seems very healthy. Just handfed him for the first time the other day!(sorry off topic but I was excited.)
