Ok i did alot of research before I bought this fish but I didnt know that they like to play possum.
I have only had mine for about 3 weeks and he is crazy. He eats and poops like crazy witch is good because he was malnorished when i got him. he even eats from the mini turkey baster i have. (wont use my hand cause I dont think i will like his bite).
Every night he finds the glass magnet and kinda sucks his lips to it like a freshwater pleco. then his color changes to almost white.
The first time i saw this i thought he was dead. I even got my net and pooked him trying to get him to move around. He didnt budge. I was like oh well ill let the crabs have a meal tonight. The next morning he was fine moving around and eating again like crazy.
I moved the
Mag Float.
The next evening when the antics were on he did the same thing. I guess this is how they sleep.
also
He actually likes the output of my koralis 4
I think he is trying to touch it
he swims up the curent and tries to go inside the Koralis against the current. (scares me to death)
To anyone with a yellow canary
Is this normal? Is he sick (mentally and/or physically)
Or does my fish need to ride the short BUS
