Hey guys. My smaller gar, 10", is spending a lot of time at the front of the tank twitching and moving strangely. He is also refusing all food, but occasionally eats a ghost shrimp. Ghost shrimp will often swim right up to his snout, and he will ignore them. I'm starting to get worried, he has been doing this for a few weeks now, and has behaved strangely since he arrived. Any advice? My hospital tank is currently being used to rear axolotl babies, but I have plenty of large buckets, should something need to happen. I don't want to separate him and/or medicate unless it is absolutely necessary. I dosed the tank with salt during my last two water changes to see if that would help. Doesn't seem to have done anything. Is this just normal behavior? My other gar is very calm minded. Nothing seems to bother him, but the smaller guy is stressed by my presence sometimes.
Thanks,
