Well this guy is about 8" long and I previously had him in with a school of red hooks, but ever since I sold them he has been hanging out with the clown loaches and small paroons at the bottom of the tank. Has anyone ever seen this behaviour. It's almost like he is trying to school with them.

He still eats good, but rarely comes up to the surface. Parameters 0,0,5ppm

I throttled down my air pumps and no change in behaviour. He came up to the top to investigate, but went back down shortly after.

I removed three peacock bass from my Asian arowana's tank this weekend and now he's sulking on the bottom with the SD's and clown loaches. I'm not worried about it. Arowanas march to their own drummer sometimes, but always come around in short order.
