 | Yoyo marching end to end the tank |
mews Hobbyist Posts: 75 Kudos: 33 Votes: 1 Registered: 25-Apr-2007   | Hi All A little concerned about one of my Yoyos. I noticed last night he seems to swim about 1/3 off the bottom and from one end to another at the front of the tank, back n forth like a zoo crazed tiger. The other one is fine and acting normal as are all the other fish. Yoyo was doing it again this morning, I wonder if he was at it all night? He stopped for feeding time this morning and I wont know any more till I return home from work. My 5footer http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/2242540621_1a81dcb3c8.jpg |

I never saw them for the first month but when they went back after the setting up the new tank I see them most of the day following each other around the tank. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
