	Dizzy fish
thestooge Hobbyist Posts: 77 Kudos: 61 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Jan-2006	I have noticed lately that a couple of my lemon tetra have been leaning to the side while they are relaxing and staying still. They just seem to be tilted. I have also noticed this in my silver hatchet terta. Why are they doing this? Fish CAN fly!
