well ive had my LMB for about a month now..hes doing great.. eating off the rock mostley.. hasnt taken to anything else.. but has gotten fat off the algeas in my tank..ive noticed that hes swimming more and more latley.. and tends to have a set lap around the tank that he follows.. dosent always do it but does it alot in the morning like its a routine exercise.. he looks extreamly healthy, color is great, is the swimming just a personality thing or should i look into it more.. i know these fish lack a swim bladder and dont swim alot except from rock to rock.. but mine seems to thing hes a tang sometimes. and seems to play in the currents, looks like hes having a field day lol.. should any of his behavior he reason to worry?

My LMB site in one of my plants. Which is in the direct way of the power head. It looks like he is a a jacuzzi. He can munch on the algea, and left over food that sometimes gets stuck in the plant, and gets blown around in the current. He has to fight my scooter for the spot. Sometimes my angel, who plays in the current bumps him off of the plant. It is so funny. I would not worry about it. Your LMB soudns like he does the same as mine. Does laps around the tank for food, plays in the current, has a HUGE beer belly. I would not be concerned.
