Yesterday when I came home for the evening, I approached my big tank for feeding in the same manner that I always do and my Angel went nuts! He was darting all over and bashing into the glass. It took him quite a while to calm down. He is usually such a piggy and immediately comes to the front of the tank for feeding time.....I did get a haircut yesterday but I don't think it changed my appearance that much?! :eek3:
Do you think I just startled him or could this be an indication of something else going on? I have had him in the tank for several months and this is the first time he acted so erratic....
 
You know, I don't keep angels, but I had this happen with my Oscar last week.......all because I was wearing a hat! He tore the CRAP out of himself. My discus will also hide and dart if I am wearing dark clothes and approach the tank right after the lights come on.

Is the fish eating well? Are your parameters in the right ranges?

I would monitor honestly and not assume somehting is necessarily wrong right off the bat.
 
Thanks for setting my mind at ease Rach...My params are normal - 0-0-2. (my trAtes are always low). He ate really well after he finally calmed down. I guess he really does not like my new "do" LOL
I was really worried about him hurting himself but he seems to be ok. We'll see how it goes tonite....Poor baby.
 
My biggest angel did the same thing once, I went by the tank and he went crazy in exactly the same way. I would not worry too much about it.
 
Thanks for the input everyone. I will be very careful tonite when I feed the tank. Jeez! silly fish.
