Re: GSP acting odd.

Blubber is lookin healthy and happy atm. the only odd thing he is doing is that he keeps floating up to things pressing them to the right side of his face, then jetting off really fast. He keeps like rubbing the one side of his face on things. Is he just being goofy or...idk, whats up?

Re: GSP acting odd.

thanks guys for all your help. hes looking pretty healthy right now. i think he was just sluggish from overeating or something. hes swimming around now and i feed him snails and brine shrimp, and am picking up some blood worms today probably. also soon ill likely be getting him a bigger tank.

Re: GSP acting odd.

he doesnt have any physical oddities. i was hoping the crab could crawl out through the two giant plants that i have, i have a very tight lid on. the only other tank i have is the five gallon where i keep my snails.

Gsp questions

Hey I have a new gsp, maybe a week or two old. When I put my finger in the tank or near it he runs away. I would imagine this may be because he is new to the tank, but idk. His appetite is fine. He eats the crap out of ghost shrimp and small guppies. Anyway, I was wondering how I could get him to be...
