imho, they are a skittish and a little stressed.... when my fry get a little crazy.. i turn off the light.. for awhile.. they settle down.. i also spray painted bottom and back.. they seemed to have settle them down alittle also.. when they settle down, i have found that they spread out their fins more...

i have 1" to 1.5" fry in my 29 & 30 gallon (going on 3-4 weeks).. one tank seems to be more skittish then the other.. don't judge them just yet.. give them time to eat, and relax...
