Fish... siezures?

01-28-2010, 11:43 PM

Today, while adding a few new fish to my tank, I noticed that my dominant male, who is usually pretty chill about adding new fish, continued approaching the floaters and looked as though he had a nasty case of epilepsy. It was funny, until it spread to my 4 labs. Is this normal or is there something I'm not doing correctly?

It is a heavily planted, 44g pent. tank with 2 bubble stones and a bubble wand, a hang on the back filter for a 70-90 gallon and a pleco. All other fish are cichlids.

College = fishless for now. Vicarious living!

what type of cichlids. sounds like agressive 'shaking' toward the new fish to me.

25g - Reef
3.5g - Surge Tank

What kind of fish were you adding, and which one was "shaking?"

What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
