Why would my tropical fish gather in one corner of the tank?

This has been happening for awhile.

It sounds like they could be stressed about something, how new is the tank? Make sure your water parameters are safe (zero ammonia, zero nitrite and that your pH is what it needs to be for your fish) Also check that your temp is correct for your type of fish. If all that is OK and they are new to the tank they may be scared of their new home and you may need to give them a couple days to get used to it.

The area may be partially hidden from view. A lot of fish don't like a lot of movement around them. If the tank is in a high-traffic area, the fish may have found that space where they feel protected the most.

Make sure all your fish are compatible and about the same size. Larger fish tend to eat smaller ones and they might be trying to avoid being eaten.
