Greetings everyone...
I was hoping that someone here may have experienced this problem and could provide some guidance. I have a misbarred, ocellaris that I have owned for ~ 6 months. He was always been an active swimmer (relativley) and a great eater.
During the past 2 days (today being day 3) I have noticed that he he been much less active. He spends most of the day and evening in the bottom-side of the tank. This location is the same spot that he would always go to at night when he slept; kind of his territory I suppose.
Additionally, I have noticed that he is has not been eating during the past 3 days. I have been introducing a few various foods just to see if he suddenly became picky. So for he has ignored flakes, pellets, mysis.
Today bein day 3 I have noticed another, new behavior. He is swimming into the top corner of the tank, and just floating behind my thermometer. When I walk over to look...he swims back down to his little territory at the bottom.
There are no signs of trauma to his scales, gills, etc. There has been no aggression in the tank and nothing new has been introduced in months.
I have not checked parameters yet, but will this afternoon. I have a Xenia that is dividing and a GSP that is spreading like mad. My 4 other fish are active and eating, so I would speculate that the tank conditions are okay.
Does anybody have any ideas, suggestions or remedies? Thanks...
