He........Loves me not....

[D Mos]

Sushi,my snakehead, used to live in a 10 gallon. Only a rock and a moss ball,never had no problems, he loved me....Even came ----- this close to hand feeding him because he wasnt scared of me....ever since i transfered him over to the 65 gallon......he wants nothing to do with me......he eats,plays does everything a fish normally would do,until he sees me.When he sees me he stays behind his rock motionless.....waits for me to not pay attention then gets a breather........I don't know what to do is this normal for a snakehead.

lol that is the cutest/sadest story iv heard.
hes prob just getting used to his surroundings. like babies, when u wrap them up tight they stop crying even though mum is there, but if they r unwrapped they feel insecure. so maybe coz hes been in a smaller tank now hes in an ocean lol.
im sure he will come round.

Well actually if you look in the bottom left hand corner, thats the rock he hides behind.Also where he "watches" me from and i spread out those lilly pad thingys on top of the water to cover most of the aquarium.
