nickyboi Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sometimes my Kenyi will stop swimming for a second and have a little shiver/jiggle then be on their way again, it cracks me up every time, yet also worries me. Is it something to be worried about or get fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Sorry...wish I could help...could this be what they call "shimmy"...which I believe can be caused by stress. Test your water and post results so those that know more can see if there where they should be. Someone will help...hold on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Should be fine, probably just marking a territory, showing off, displaying his dominance, or intended dominance. Its only if they do it all the time, all over the tank, may raise concerns. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
