My Fish is nuts

[Northstar24]

So I came home from work today to my Achilles swimming circles around my powerhead. He is normally all over the tank

Is this just good for a laugh, or something to be concerned about? He's been doing this for about the last 2 hours now. Oh - don't mind the chatter between my wife and I :)

Hahahah that is so weird! But a lil funny hahah. Crazy little fella

 

[FishyReef]

Okay, yeah that's weird!! I don't have a clue, but it gave me a laugh. Is anyone else in the tank acting strange?

 

[Northstar24]

Everyone else is acting normal, but he even ignored the seaweed sheet when I fed the tank. He NEVER ignores seaweed - I'm actually a little worried

 

[Dana42078]

Not sure if its normal, but kinda looked like he was rideing a wave in a way. maybe he just likes to go with the flow:)

 

[FishyReef]

If you're worried about it, maybe try shutting the powerhead off or moving it (if possible) to distract him and see if he returns to normal? You could also try lights out to disrupt his behavior and see if that works!

 

[chichimom79]

That's odd, especially if he ignored feeding time. I would try the disruption methods fishy suggested.
Thanks for the video. Pretty fish :)

Man you got some nice fat fish :D

OCD fish maybe? :)

It is odd that he didn't eat. Just him, right? How long have you had him?

 

[Northstar24]

I have had him since October of 2011, he was held by my LFS for a month before that

Late last night he appeared to be back to his normal self

Maybe he swallowed a clownfish and the clownfish took over his nervous system, essentially turning him into a clownfish. :mrgreen:

 

[Northstar24]

My clownfish are boring - they host a rock on the back of the rock wall and you hardly ever see them

 

[wontonflip]

you hardly ever see them

Did you see them YESTERDAY? :mrgreen:
