fish gets freaked out easily!!!

[DanS180]

I've had a jack Dempsey for almost a year now n he's always been pretty cool n calm, well more recently he's been getting freaked out really easily(when I walk up to the tank) but all my other fish are like "oh hey Dan what's up" lol anyone have any explanation for this?? Or is he just a skitzo?

sounds like my shark,he's scared of his own shadow. i think he's just wierd

Yeah I think so too, he actually tries fighting with my synspillum as if he's trying to scare him away for his territory but the syn just ignores him, I think its funny lol no harm is done to either fish, all talk

Some fish are just neurotic.

Some breeds are just neurotics.

Then there is Silver Dollars
