I watched so many videos trying to find a solution to my molly fish glass surfing and this was the most helpful video by far it worked almost instantly
Thanks for the info man, having a glass runner with the barb I have, i have new fish tank and new fish, am starting to think I moved to soon before my tank had time to establish
My trophius in separate tanks, bought different times, both do this. Mine swim up n down, rhythmically. I don't think it's strss in my case they look happy. It's a daily activity😃 but I'm no expert 🤷♀️
I had a goldfish that would tap the thermometer against the glass every night at 6pm and swim back and forth until he was feed. When he died all the other fish tried to work out how to ring the "dinner bell" as we called it. They never did work it out.
Do you think adding new fish is stressful I just added a fish and he's glass surfing but it's been chaotic in my house the past few days but not so much today so idk why he's glass surfing other then the new fish I put in.
@sisi that's what I thought too because my pleco kept swimming in circles on just one side of tank--where most of his reflection can be seen. He'd keep swimming, bumping, surfing, etc over there for hours until it got darker in the room. And even when it was dim, he'd still do it, but not as much. But eventually he stopped once I provided some cover over his tank--like right now. So I'm still confused.
doing water changes does Not remove the good bacteria in your tank as 75% of the good bacteria is in your substrate, and also on, or in any other things in your tank. Most of the rest of your bacteria is in your filter material. Not recommend but you could do a 95% water change and it would have No effect on the good bacteria in a properly established tank.
If they are brand new then it is likely just stress. If they do it for more than a few days then it could be the water quality. Are they eating? If they are eating then I would not be too concerned about glass surfing unless they stop eating.
@@nanoreeffreak5064 yes! They are eating quite well :D and water parameters spiked a tad after adding them to the aquarium, ammonia and nitrites are in between 0 and .25 maybe I’m just exaggerating 🥲
I was freaking out when my fish was doing that💀I thought it's dying or something🤦♂️at first I thought she's hungry...so I tried to feed her but she didn't bother she kept running around soo fast like she's scared or something💔
ALL WRONG. Fish is chasing it's own reflection. It will never do that with the background glass coz it has no reflection. Whenever u turn on the light , the fish sees itself and starts chasing
Ahhh. Lots of new fish that are stressed like my goliath tiger fish babies, and much more do this when they are super stressed. They can also chase reflections but I have this happen with stressed fish.

could it also mean that they are just chasing their reflection?
Aquarium glass does not reflect
I love this idea haha but they would not be able to see their reflection inside. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! :) these are not the disliked videos you are looking for 👋🏼
Is it normal for brand new fish to be glass surfing ? 🥺
If they are brand new then it is likely just stress. If they do it for more than a few days then it could be the water quality. Are they eating? If they are eating then I would not be too concerned about glass surfing unless they stop eating.
