I'll start with my bala shark.
I have two and the older one is extremely highly strung. Whenever I go to feed the fish it flips out and heads to either end of the tank and swims up and down very erratically. It's done this so much that it has a discolouration on the end of it's nose! What's more, it doesn't eat anything as far as I can see, but apart from that seems perfectly healthy. The other one shows no sign of timidness or insanity.
I have four clown loaches. The largest sits inside a little clay log all day and night and doesn't come out to eat as far as I can see. The others are all very small and rarely find the food tablets I drop in for them. They don't click excitedly when they do.
In contrast, I have 4 tiger barbs who are amazingly normal. They are veratious and eat everything they can get their mouths onto and they aren't scared in the slightest (they'll happily eat blood worms from my fingers)!
I do weekly 30% water changes, the water is clear and there are plenty of plants. It's a 40 gallon tank and is no where near overstocked.
Any help would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance!
