Aquariums: Are they “playing” in the outflow or is s sign of stress?
Espei Rasbora just under 3 weeks in my 60L.
Nitrate (NO_3^-): 10 mg/L
Nitrite (NO_2^-): 0 mg/L
Chlorine (Cl_2): 0 mg/L
pH: ~6.4
I have a Koi Betta in there too.

Fish are excellent at demonstrating the phrase, “never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” They do look like they might be distressed, but it is a problem of their own making. I would move them to a different part of the tank and see what they do. If they go back to that corner, eh. Fish gonna fish.
