could be stress from the other fish ... mine did that for awhile...

yup it was stressed by the presence of the other fish, though it was him/her doing all the chasing, nipping and harassing the others

but now he/she is alright
started eating today morning and as usual had gorged himself to the brink of exploding lol

i feel much better, now that jar has started to behave normally

nope i think it was just the new tank mates the oscar and the GTs

a week ago i had added a giraffe hap to the aro tank and they both were kind of bickering a lot and had to return the chiclid back, from that day my jar got a little skittish and had started fasting, and after five days i added the oscar and the GTs and everything from then is history
