Hi ok what type of filteration do you have and what's your tank maintainence?
Was it eating before then stopped or never ate from day one?
Also what temp is the tank?

do you happen to know the ammonia/nitrite and nitrate reading's?
Iam thinking maybe to much ammonia which is basically burning the skin causing it to irritate hence the darting around etc..
 
sry for the late reply
u were right...ammonia levels pretty high,my frnd just did the tests....i did 30% water change and added very little salt....
what should i do to cure it?
 
they have been with me for months now...here is the link to their thread and updates....

but the last couple of months i was busy and had to go to shanghai,and i gave the tank to one of my classmates...
i took it back this yesterday...and they dont look good...did not rele grow as fast as they did while with me...and slimmer and ugly....gotta nurse them back to health...
 
Hi,it happens with micros,they mosly jump and some times crash into things,water values are important for aquarium keeping.
 
i knw mate,as i said the tank was not with me the last two months.....i just got it back yesterday,after i nurse my fishes back to health im gonna go kill my classmate who had them

so for now, how do i cure this? :(
 
Iam not sure sorry mate, but i would preform a few waterchange's,dont go crazy, and keep up with maintainence and feeding some good food's...
 
aite,thx mate..
i think i'll check in again tomorrow to c if some snakehead experts replied....let's just hope its not serious
