I'm jsut wondering if it's normal behavior for my little fella to fan his gills for long periods of time. Tonight, I gave him a worm, and as soon as he was done eating he started doing the fanny thing with his gills. he's been doing this for about 3 hours now. Not being as active as normal, just sitting there flapping away.
Is there a connection between this and a big meal? I just fed him an earthworm for the first time last night, and another one tonight. Caught from my own garden.
My water params are good, ammonia: 0, nitrites: 0, nitrates: 0 (plants) and I did a water change yesterday. Temp is a little higher than the 68 it usually is, it looks like 70. I left the thermostat on all day accidentally!
Is this ever an indication of something wrong, or is it jsut something they like to do from time to time?
