My Red tiger Severum has weird swimming behaviors. At first I thought it was a swim bladder issue but now I'm thinking it a style of swimming he uses to get closer to smaller fish. He swims normal all the time but occasionally I would notice him turn on his side and float more than swim and some times swim in a downward spiral.
So I've noticed he only does it when trying to attack smaller fishes. He turns on his side approaches the fish lifeless and when close bursts forward and perseus the fish swimming lighting fast and normal. He does this throughout the day to all his tank mates. And I assume he has been eating the saemese algae eaters as I have a few that dissapeared completely. Has anyone esle seen this behavior?
