Trigger

[Bazza7]

I have a lovely pink tail trigger who for the first few months was swimming and eating fine. Just recently he's decided to become a recluse. Hiding behind the same rock. Any ideas????

Have you changed anything

 

[Bazza7]

Not a thing.

 

[bettaowner]

What are your parameters

 

[Bazza7]

All pretty much perfect. Salt 1.024. Ph 8. No ammonia or nitrite. Kh about 11

 

[bettaowner]

Has anyone harassed him? I am really stumped.

 

[Bazza7]

He's the biggest in there and was the boss. Every so often he comes out. Swims to the top then straight back. He looks healthy.

 

[bettaowner]

How long have you had him?

IMO from observing triggers, they are highly intelligent, for fish, and can as a result develop neurosis. It can be as simple as he has finally noticed his reflection and is now scared of the other trigger fish.

 

[bettaowner]

I did not think about that.

Ha ha so I've got a neurotic fish. That figures

Just a suggestion, it could be several things.
