I think one of my green TB's is having some sort of seizure because he has been swimming nose down rapidly an inch from the button all day until now when its dark. Its as if there is an imaginary river he is swimming against. I have only seen this once before a few months ago for just an hour or so. But all day today even when I installed some new plants he diden't run like the others just moves enough to make room like a zombie. I know I should take a picture but its night now tomorrow I will post one. Has anyone ever seen this, know what it is, sick or normal? May parameters are all zero except nitrates 5PPM.

Wow. Mabe I have been feeding them too much variety in one day. A little frozen blood worms, some small sinking cichlid pellets, flake, and a couple of cichlid sticks but only once a day and no more then the 5 minute rule. Maybe I should do just one food per day instead of a little bit of everything each day. Maybe like a buffet it too much variety in one setting. I cant tell if he is bloated as they are all pretty round and fat.
Oh, out of coffee..

LOL..I feel like I'm running a buffet sometimes too...lol..It might not hurt to fast them for a day just to see??..It def won't hurt anything...I bet they appreciate all the yummy food though..Sometimes it can effect their swimming if they get bloated or constipated...I noticed my Angels bellies were WAY to big so I'm fasting tomorrow..I just get carried away sometimes..I want them to be fat and happy..lol...It sounds like your doing the same thing..I have to remind myself all the time not to overfeed..It can cause more harm then good sometimes.
