Hi all,

I have 4 small lionheads in my tank...they are all very young and i have minimal decor and a small filter running. I notice that one fish in particular, sometimes 2 of them just sit on the bottom of the tank if theres no one in the room. As soon as they see any movement in the room, all of them happily swim around the whole tank....they are all feeding happily.
Is this something i should be concerned about? Do they find it hard to swim in the filter current all the time so take a rest every so often? i do regular water changes and use Tetra Easybalance as well. Nothing to see on the fish and they swim from top to bottom during feeding etc.

Any advice please? Do i need more oxygen in the tank or something like that?

Kind Regards
FG
