Not necessarily, I note they near the intake for your filter and fish are not daft as they know they're a little morsels of food and other debris been drawn in into the intake. Why start chasing after them when you can wait for them to come to you.

Why!? It looks beautiful You could try repositioning the angle of your outflow, to encourage the fish to move out of the corner.John Arnold wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 22:29 pm ...Yeah true i was just wondering, i prefer them to wander about more, maybe too much hardscape fir that, gonna rescape soon anyway

Yeah I'll second that. Changing the direction of the flow from the lily pipe as Fishtales has suggested might well be an option.

I am not that into scaping to be honest with you. I like my tank to look reasonable and mainly functional for my fish. I am still in the baby stages of getting more real plants to grow in my low tech tank
