Hi Guys,

Yes me again...with more issues.

My FH (after moving him to his new tank in the LIVING ROOM)... HATES it..HE HATES IT... hes been thrashing around...shaking...as in shivering his head like hes got fleas on his head.

Hes digging around CRAZY! Jumping... (water is PERFECTLY ok) tested...

He was enjoying the other tank in my bedroom! But that tank has BLACK background, but natural gravel..so I thought FH don't look good with black backgrounds.


Would it be wise to switch tanks for him and put my GT and Oscar in the living room tank?

I think he hates the amount of movement in the living room? Hes so stressed.

Thats normal, don't worry about it. Usually means they want to breed but I have noticed them do this when ever they feel like it.

If hes twitching his head, moving gravel with his mouth, shaking his body around the tank its perfectly normal behavior. If hes sick or stressed he will show black vertical bars on the body.

If I can get a video of one of mine doing it I will show you.
 
Jay, it's a "good" sign when flowerhorns are break-dancing.
;-)
I think he's just happy in his bigger tank.

He will settle, hes been moved around a lot and its normal for him to be a little jumpy. The other behavior is he is showing is completely unrelated. From what I have heard hes perfectly fine. The way I see the situation is you are really paranoid because you dropped so much money on the fish. You have nothing to worry about, he seems fine. Just chillax a little.
 
Id be worried to i dropped that kind of cash and the poor thing was terrified, idk i say post a vid of it so we can see whats going on.
