Moving pebbles, redecorating

New tank and parrot owner

Wed, 01/27/2010 - 18:05 — leighmoss

Hi..I have a 30g tank and 2 parrots. I'm new to aquariums and parrots as well. What is normal behavior? I wonder because one of my parrots always kind of scares me, it barely moves and stays at the bottom of the tank all the time. Moves very infrequently. Is this normal? Also, in my tank I have a house with a waterwheel ...I had a pump connected to it and it made the waterwheel turn and bubbles come out the chimney...but the parrots would not move AT all...so, I though the current they created was too much, so I tuned off that pump and they are moving a bit more.

House cleaning

Everytime I clean the tank (vacuum and refresh) the fish seem to spend the nightime hours moving stones about the tank floor. They must have a housekeeping concern about their little world.

Picks up gravel

I have noticed that my parrot fish is a little shy, but he does seem to be getting better, but i noticed the other day, that he has a habit of hiding under the filter and picking up the gravel in my tank and spitting out by the filter. Should i be worried or is this just normal behaviour? (have only had him 1/2 months?)
