datnoid problems

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Still no go on the photos and they are really no big deal as I have seen and heard of dats positioning themselves this way before.Sit and observe the tank and make sure the dat is not being bullied by another fish.It could be a defensive posture.
 
to me it just looks to me like he's doing his best to hide in a bare tank, so they go vertical and stick in a corner could just be stress form a new bare home, or could be the weaker of the 3 and he's trying to avoid conflict.

Give them some decor and a hide and i bet he quickly finds a better spot. Also just to mention it in my experiences Dat's bully each other , they seem to do great with just about everything else but i've had very little success with multiple dat's in a tank.
 
I doubt he's the week one he's usually the one who does the chasing lol and that was the first time I seen him pointing like that I have no decor to use
I've had him for months already and his original home was bare bottom
 
Cloudy eye dats will do that. He's not seeing properly so he's stressed. Separate if possible with light salt, low light & clean water for a few days (no food offered)
 
I don't have another tank I'm. Currently day 3 melafix and salt today om gonna do a WC and salt and use copper safe

If it's got cloudy eye then the water change would be a good thing.
