silver aro has gone crazy

[hondatek]

so i have had my 9 inch aro for about 5 months now and yesterday when i got home from work he was acting different than usual i just figured it was because the 30 minute power outage i had the night before well he wouldnt eat this morning and also he didnt eat now when i just got home plus he is still going nuts darting all over the place im not sure what is going on he hasnt not eaten since i had him i check the water parameters and everything is fine any suggestions

how big is the tank and they just go through theses freak out stages he will eventually calm down

 

[hondatek]

he is in a 75 for now. he just never did this whole rubbing his face against the glass before hopefully he will eat tomorrow im probably gonna leave the light off most of the day tomorrow

Should calm down substantially and return to normal within the next day or two

^^ ghostmanshrimp wassup from the lounge? lol anyways mine is doing the same thing, i've been reading alot that it's nothing to worry about so i'm gonna give it time to adjust especially since i just got him.

Fish don't need to eat three squares
Silvers are known for spazzin out
my guess is that the power outage triggered the episode

stop trying to feed
cut back on the photo-period
stop worrying aboot it
read a sticky everyday

My suggestion would be to use some punctuation so ew can make sense of what you're trying to say!


Seriously though, how about providing a little bit of information, there are so many different things that could be affecting it there's no way to make a diagnoses with out knowing more. Tank size? tank mates? decor? water temp, pH, nitrate/nitrite/ammonia? diet? etc

 

[hondatek]

75 gallon tank. The temp is 78 degrees. No ammonia and no nitrite. Just a tiny bit of nitrates. Ph is 6.8 . It's just the aro and 2 bolivian rams. The decor is basically bare. No gravel and 2 fake skulls.filters are 2 emporer 400 and using a 60 gallon air pump.His diet is sera Arowana pellets.
