Check the pH of your water and then ask the fish store what pH the water that they were living in is. If there is a big difference, more than .5, then that is the problem.
The shock caused by extreme differences in pH will harm or sometimes kill fish. It sounds like they are trying to find a way to get out of the water they are in.
Is it a new setup? If not, how long since the last partial (30%) water change? Should be no more than 2 weeks between changes. It sounds like they have a problem with the water quality. Check the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. If they are high, do a 30% water change immediately and then do a 20% change every day for the next 3-4 days or until the levels are down to 0.
What the the fish are doing is called "pacing."

Make sure your tank is big enough and has the proper filtration and aeration. Other than that they should be fine, and it is probably normal behavior.

maybe they think the idea of being in a new tank is strange and they're getting used to it. or many there is such a thing as mental fish.

if you keeping it in a fish bowl it most likly that they dont have enough oxygen in the fish bowl. if its in a tank it could mean that they are hungrey or the water is dirty. otherwise its normal.

They're just horny is all! Give 'em a good rub down or two, and they'll be happier than a midget at Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory.
