Answer 5

your fish need a better current a buble blower and power filter will do the job so they are encouraged to swim. i would not get a snail because one they reproduce by themselves one day you can wake up and find a black wall across your tank because it can have 2 to 4 hundred babies evry time. and if you have aquarium salt it will kill them because it gets rid of there slime coat. i would get a dwarf pleco if not you can have a normal pleco grow 2 feet long. or you could get a algae eating fish but the pleco is much cooler it has a sucer that it sticks onto stuff with. i think i am your best answer

Answer 6

this is normal, at least for my fish, fish do sleep although they can't close thier eyes so they are probably just resting.
