Did a search and found some good info. The most common was "ich" and the other was it being just typical behavior.
I looked closely at the fish and none of them have any scratches or white dots or anything visible. I know not everything is visible to me, but upon human non expert visual inspection no one seems sick. Water is clear now(thanks DJRansome!) Water temp is 79.2 & all other water levels look good.
I thought it was just the males asserting themselves as they are all pretty young, but then I noticed the females doing it as well. I'm guessing its more just "normal behavior" because there are a few bare spots in the tank with no rocks and just sand, but they only do it right in the front of the tank. I don't want to throw a bunch of chemicals in there if I don't have to, but I also want the little guys to be happy & healthy! Is there anything else I can look for, for better clarity on if its them just being fish doing fish things, or something more serious. Thanks!
