My new poly is still doing the seizure/twitching/freaking out thing. Hes swimming along and suddenly he will change course and smash his face in to the glass of hit the sand or just kinda twitch its head really fast for a sec or 2. It IS eating now. I have seen it. I just don't know what to make of this weird behavior.

its probably nothing, he might think its cool looking when he shakes his head and everything gets all blurry!!!:grinno:

sorry to hear that bud. well, i geuss im not much of a help then, sorry.
 
nah its cool but i was a little distressed at the moment but im cool now.
 
look closely for anker worms, thread like worms hanging from body and gills
my laps did shivering when i got them looked closer and seen the worms
 
Im starting to think this fish is blind. It runs into everything. It will be swimming along and all of a sudden maybe 3 or 4 quick bursts in different directions hitting things on the way. They it swims and 30 - 45 seconds later it happens again over and over. Sometimes I don't see it do it for a couple of minutes. I stare at this fish... I can't see anything physically wrong with it.
 
nah what he is decribing is a full blown seizure. i didnt find any worms on mine. she was completely clean.
