my tang is funny

[jhale]

Does any one have fish that do funny things all the time?

I have a scopas tang that loves to surf the current of one of my closed loop returns. the return is a couple of inches off the bottom and runs parallel to the side of the tank.
the tang will start at the front of the tank pointing towards the back, into the return. then he swims into the current which is strong and will flip the tang onto his side sometimes. he seems to like this, because he will swim on his side an inch above the bottom until he gets pushed away from the current. then he swims around the rocks in the back, comes to the front of the tank through some caves and does the same thing, again and again

my one big damsel will also do this but not as often.

Alot of fish do this, stand in front of power head or streams of water, mostly likey this is away to clean themselves off of any parsites.

Some of my fish do this and then use the jet stream to take off and swimn across the tank very fast.

Maybe he thinks it's the East Australian Current and he is looking for the swirling vortex of terror

Any pics of the frags?

how many times have you watched that movie Jim?

I did not have a chance to shoot the frags yet,
but all the polyps are out, and the cap is right at the top of
the tank under a 175.

Good to hear about the frags would love to see them in your tank. When you get a chance, post some pics.
