What's your feeding schedule like? Maybe try starving it a bit and throw in something other than Silversides as a first meal after starving. My old CK was like this. He was always active and then started hiding one day for about 3 months. I decided to let it go without food for a couple of weeks and he was back to normal after that.

he has been kind of starving himself.. and i ran out of the silversides... so thats why i went and bought him some fish goodies.. from supermarket.. i will see if he eats..raw talapia...raw shrimp...raw cod or raw catfish.. :nilly:
 
what are his tankmates and size of the tank, Lizz?

He is in 125 gal.. 2 severums..3 angels and one common pleco.. he is 16 inches..
 
Does the pleco harass the knife? I've seen it happen.

On another note, why don't you try and take all hiding spots out of the tank, just to see what it does? If you feel it stresses more, put them back in, but I would give it a try...

i think i may give that a try... make him face his fears.. and then once he does i will put them back.. i will try it in a day or two.. and yes the pleco thinks he is his pal.. always laying in the house with him... but i would not really say harrassing.. he just sleeps near him.. thanks miguel ..

i got a quick couple of shots of him... after that big fish dinner tonight .. did a water change and he slipped out for a fleeting second...
 
he is a beauty, Lizz

haha, thats cute.. but he is not naked with all those spots.. i wish he would go back to the hand fed CK he was.. all this rushing past me.. i cannot get one decent pic, he runs for cover... seriously do you think maybe there something intimidating him.. he has angels, severums and big common pleco and one cichlid as tankmates... all i know is i want my boy back.. does not want anything to eat except silversides.. just completly changed in personality...
