I have an extremely jumpy lotl. If I drop a pellet in front of him, he will frantically dart around the tub and try to swim up the sides and out, if I start to put the tongs into the water he freaks out. If there's a delicious wriggly worm in front of him he freaks out.
He's getting big so I placed him into the big tank last night and it's even worse, a tiny swoosh of one of the others' tail when they gently walk or swim sends him into a frantic spaz out even if they aren't even slightly close to him.
Has anyone else had a juvie like this? He hasn't had an injury since I got him 10 weeks ago. When I first got him he had uneven gills so he could've been chomped but he wasn't jumpy as a baby. It's been like the last few weeks. Help! I don't want to stress him out every time I feed him. Should I separate him again or should i just leave him?
