Caper Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Sorry I don't know anything about jack dempseys But a few questions just so others who do might be able to help :-? Have you checked the water parameters? Before he ate all his fellow fishies was he acting in this manner, were they? Can you see any visible signs of injury or anything not "normal" on him? Have you done anything different with the tank before this started happening? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Occasional flicking off stuff is relatively normal.. Sometimes its a sign of something nasty in the water, parasites (you should see some other signs of this ie white spot or actual things stuck to the fish). As long as the fish is happy healthy and eating and not smashing around the tank rubbing on stuff all the time I probably wouldn't stress too much..

chilli Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 he ate all his friends along time ago(6mths) he looks ok not one white spot on him or fin rot just acting a bit wierd now and then i just thought if they rub of things like the ground there sick and then get white spot or something but he just hits the glass and shivers then the odd turn upside down real fast (maybe he is trying to kill the fish in the glass :lol: ) what sort off fish do these guys normaly get on with?

LYNDYLOO Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 My Fish do this every now and then :-? Never seems to come to anything as in White Spot or Parasites. Maybe they get the odd itch here and there like we do :lol: :lol: Lyndyloo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
