Anyone know anything about tropical fish?
A couple of weeks ago i added a Catfish to my sorta new tank. I only wanted to start with one because i hear the PH balance or something-content tends to kill them off, so i figured i'd keep going until i found one i couldn't kill and just get a couple more of that same kind.
Well, two weeks later and i'm calling him "Jesus" because he rises from the dead. This thing will sit at the bottom of the tank, on it's side, and i swear to GOD i think he's dead. Then i'll tap on the glass or turn the light on and i'll be damed if that big eye doesn't start moving like crazy (who knows what it's looking for, probably whatever eats those little catfish).
A little while ago, this fish was dead. It was! It was in the same spot since i looked at the tank last night. Same spot, same position, hadn't moved a whisker. So i sigh, think to myself "at least it's over for the poor thing", and go get the net. I reach the net into the tank and just as i'm getting it near the catfish the damn thing rockets off like a fucking shotgun shell. Scared the living shit out of me.
How do i get the fish to snap out of it? People who look at my tank are commenting on the DEAD CATFISH. I bought the tank to hotten up my living room, i don't want a veggie-catfish lolling on the bottom for all to see. How do i make it get better? I'm stuck, what am i supposed to do, flush a live catfish? No way.
Jesus Christ, i have such weird problems.
