Thanks PlecoCrazy

Thats reassuring.

He seems to have calmed down a little but he is still coming out more than he ever did, and he's going round the tank much more than he ever did.

I honestly think it is because he's 'happier' - hope so!

I'll try the water change and see if that helps.
MANY THANKS

Thanks for the quick replies. Much appreciated.

I use a liquid test for the water - ph, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite and its ok. Not changed from when I first got the cat over a year ago?

Apart from the change of decor I've had new fish in the last few weeks?

Thanks again for any ideas/help.

Hi

Can anyone please help me figure why my catfish had changed behaviour?

Is it likely the pseudomystus will get worse now he's had a taste?

As I've just had the danios for a week I was going to take them back to the shop to find a good home for them - one where they won't get eaten!

But I'm ...

Oh dear! I hate the thought the poor wee danios are like nightime appetisers!

I think I'll put some brine shrimp (sachets) in before bedtime in the hope they like that better!

Thanks very much for all your help - all the way from Canada ;) Beautiful place.

Thanks very much Birger. Now I know what he is!

Can I ask a question on this part of the forum?

Would it be likely this Synodontis has eaten my new danios overnight?

Before I got the danios last sunday he was sedantery and hid most of the day but since they arrived he's been hyperactive!

He's ...

Hi, I'm brand new to the forum and looking for some help in identifying what kind of catfish I have please.

I've attached a pic.
