How can I tell if my fish is excited for agitated?

I just bought 3 little feeder fish to add to his 10 gallon aquarium. He’s been rushing about in a frenzy and rubbing up against the other fich but not being aggressive in the slightest just darting about. I’m not sure if he’s excited or agitated. Any ideas?

Answer #1

Sounds like it’s excited, and probably just “socializing”…and getting used to the new fish. However, I am not an expert on fish, so I really can’t say for sure. I don’t even think there is a way to tell really…unless you can read fish minds. :/

Answer #2

Is it living with other fish, if so and it’s shaking it’s body against the other/s then they are spawning.
