Hey guys,
Recently my JD gets spooked all the time. It seems whenever I walk in the room he starts freaking out and darting around all over the tank. I'm concerned that he is getting stressed as well as the fact that he is smashing off the glass; I'm worried he's going to give himself a concussion or something. I've had him for about 5 months now, I got him when he was very young. He never did this before, this is a very recent thing. Sometimes I will peek my head into the room and he is hanging out in his flower pot. Almost like he is hiding. Then if I come in my room very slowly sometimes he will be fine with it, other times he will freak out. I tested my water yesterday and everything was the same way it always is. All of my nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia were at 0 and the temperature is the same. There has been no sudden changes in diet and no new tankmates. I used to be able to walk right into the room fast or slow and he was completely cool with it. He would come right over to the front of the tank to seem me. What do you guys think is going on. I also think that he is getting my other fish spooked as well because when he starts freaking out they also dart away and hide. Not sure if anyone has had this problem in the past. Attached is a picture of him. His belly looks a little swelled cause he just ate! He hogs all of the food!
