the other night - in the middle of the night - inside the 55 gal tank in my bedroom ... my 6" Oscar (maybe other fish to - I dont know) went crazy and thrashed around in a horrible frenzy ..... I woke up with a jolt as it was still going on ... I switched on the light to see the fish all there ... but not knowing how odd they should look since I just snapped the light on in the middle of the night ..... the Oscar had then stopped his thrashing .. looking at my parrot .. he seemed dazed and lowered to the bottom in a weird position ...but that could be normal... later in the night it all happened again ............. that is the only time anything like that has happened and it hasn't happened since .. its been a few nights ....Oscar has some bruises on his head and body he is recovering from now..... I had suspicions that Oscar had a nightmare? .. or my heater somehow shocked them through some freak electrical surge ... .. who knows?
