I have a flamehawk that thinks he is invisible. He dashes from one hiding spot to the next. Thinking none of the other fish can see him (little does he know the other fish dont care.)

BTW you should really post some of the pictures in your photo album your tank is stunning.

Thanks! Although I'm embarassed to say I don't quite "get" how that whole photogallery system works I upload a photo never to see it again. I've been using photobucket. I guess I should have a look-see if I can understand it.

I'll second that... I should wrangle an invitation to gawk the next time I'm in Nanaimo...

Christy, That's funny Jeff and J&L and I where talking about that yesterday. He has a Foxface that does that. I have my Orange shoulder, Foxface and now my Copper Banded Butterfly all go to the same corner and gulp air.

Sorry I just watched the Video. My fish don't do that. Just gulp. Could it have a gill issue?

Maybe he's attacking his reflection

My blue regal does the same thing as yours, Christie, only at the bottom of the tank close to where he usually sleeps. This causes a weird vibrating noise that can be quite creepy if your sitting in the room by yourself not knowing where it's coming from.

My theory is that it's either some kind of defensive posturing or mating behaviour probably to do with seeing its reflection.
