adrealin run
Posted: 03 Dec 2005, 20:54
my blue pangasius catfish sometimes freak out when they see me 
.after a adrenalin run they quieten down and go to the bottom of the aquarium and rest, they somthimes fall on their side or on their back but after a while (2min) they are on the move again. i was told this this is normal but most of the time one pangasius floats to the surface belly up and slowly stops 'gulping' and its gills close up and don't open i cant bare the idea that im watching my own fish die so i gently poke it and it dosn't move 
then i give it a slightly harder poke and it speeds off and starts acting normal again 
is this behaviour normal? if i dont disturb its dead act whii it die?
