Any change in the brand of food? Have you painted recently? Stuff like that, Lori?

Nope... he always gets a big variety of food, veggies and such, But his staple food is the Omega One.

I'll keep you guys posted... it's really interesting to see such a behavior change in a fish!! I also stuck my hand in there to make sure there wasn't like some electric shock going on.

Gertie, thanks for going through so many possibilites with me!!!

I also stuck my hand in there to make sure there wasn't like some electric shock going on.

A few years ago I bred golden convict cichlids... One day the heater broke during a water change (while my pair had eggs and fry, mind you) and I stuck my hand in the water to readjust the gravel...
Let me just say, I never felt so much pain in my life.

Of course, seeing as I was a little young, I had to try it just one more time to get a feel for it. XD

Coincidentally, the pair and fry were fine.
