Hi all
I hope you can advise me on my friends snowflake. He has not had him from being small but had him from a shop who took him because the previous owner by own admission was not looking after him and had massively over crowded tank.
My friend has had him about 6 months is in 390L tank and the only other things in the tank are two urchins to help with algae.
So far everything has been fine but recently he has started acting strange. In the evening he will swim round like crazy and in the end he goes all stiff like he is having a seizure or stroke or something. Its scary to watch and the seizure only last for about a minute and after he goes back to normal.
I am not talking about the head twitching thing but a full on body stiff for several seconds. By the way I dont know the water test results but know they are ok cause the local chop checks them and there is a weekly 15% -20% water change.
Does anyone know what this could be plz?
Thanks
