Fish swimming up and down glass

[the.under.ground]

I’ve read it’s normal? But the espei rasboras I got kind of spend their time swimming up against the glass?? What should I do? Is it normal? I have 5 galaxy rasboras, 4 espei rasboras and about 8 micro euro rasboras is it over crowded? It’s heavily planted tank hopefully I won’t need to take any out bc it’ll be super hard

Hand them a squeegee and maybe you will never have to algae scrub, again.

How small should I cut... they’re pretty small might just give them the end of a q tip

How long have you had them? They might still just be getting used to their new surroundings.

Like 4 days, and I think you’re right because I got two more micro euros and those two + the 4 espei are swimming up and down lol

I've seen this in other fish, and it was caused by them seeing their reflections in the glare. Are they doing this where the glass is transparent, or is there already some sort of paint or backing there?
