  • Rowdy fish - weather change?

    Anybody else's fish being super rowdy lately?

    A couple of our tanks have been getting really rowdy in the last few days. I'm constantly hearing splashing on the surface, even while the lights are off. And between last night and this morning, I had to get up and go into the other room to make sure no one had come out onto the floor 5 TIMES because I heard them bang the lid so hard it lifted up and banged back down! Once I get in there, all the fish are just looking at me like 'What?'. I know it's them because I can see where they splash water out onto the floor.

    It's the trophs doing all the splashing (they are fighting a lot, I've caught them locking up), but it's our big, dirty SA Cichlids who are popping the lid.

    Nope....my fronts are always quiet, and the Chimba are being treated for bloat right now....so they are not very spunky at this time....I have not noticed any out of character behaviour in any of the rest of our kids.....

      I do have a lone Front in that tank who is too mean to live with the other Fronts (we call him 'The Godfather') and even he has been moody. He's keeping that purple-ish, I-Want-To-Breed color most of the time. He really doesn't mess with anyone in this tank though. But maybe he's the one stirring things up.

        The fish sense changes in barometric pressure a lot more than we do as fronts come and go. This is why based upon weather patterns they can make fishing predictions...good or not to go and get the "Fish-on!!"

            Our Discus have been splashing the top every night just after lights out for about two weeks.

                I always catch more fish right after a front passes. I know a zebra plec. breeder in NY whose fish always have spawns after a low passes his house.

                Maybe that's why Casey Curry is a fish nerd.

                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.
