I find that some fish are super sensitive to external factors i.e. noise, light, vibration, etc. A crazy idea, but it has worked for me with timid fish...stop looking at him...move away from the aquarium...restrict any noise or vibration. Maybe this will help. --------------- See http://www.aka.org/AKA/subkillietalk.html to unsubscribe Join the AKA at http://www.aka.org/AKA/Applic.htm
