Just about a minute ago while i was sitting here i noticed my clown knife swimming around and biting at nothing. Is this normal? he does it sometimes after i feed him worms but i havent fed him a worm for a while so just wondering if its something i should be worried about?
 
not sure, do you have sand in your tank, I do and sometimes they just have to spit some of it out during feeding.

Or maybe he just trying to get stuck worm out of his mouth. It could just have a piece of the worm stuck on his tooth, the clown knife has a large hook like tooth inside its mouth.

Or could be his gills burring from ammonia in the water, need more water changes maybe.

Or, yawing not sure. But I have never seen my clown Knifes just biting at nothing, that's a new one for me.


All I can think of keep a eye on him, Let us know what you come up with.
 
I have never seen mine do this either so let us know how he is doing..some updates..
 
well he is still doing it but its usually within an hour or two of eating so i think maybe its just peices of fish/worm in his mouth or something because he deff doesnt seem sick in any way
