    If they look healthy, they are just getting used to the new environment. Probably doing "The Loachy Dance", http://www.loaches.com/articles/an-i...-keeping-botia

    How well decorated is your tank? They will feel a lot more comfortable with lots of hiding places in the tank.

    Are they new to the tank? Once they are settled and have ample hiding places, they shouldn't be so agitated.

    Thanks for the useful sites,bro. My tank is 2/3 planted. They have lots of hiding places between the plants.

    No, they are not new. Have them in it for almost a year now...now they are back to normal...hiding. Coming out only during feeding time.

    Might be due to a change in water conditions.

    Do be careful with the water level as they are able to get out of the tank.

    Could it be atmospheric pressure? Did the weather over there change dramatically today?

    Don't think so Matt Ford. Had the chiller running to keep it stable. Thanks for the thought anyway.
