Silly O. Last night, I think it may have been the heat, or he got spooked by a plant but he went nuts, swimming into the sides of the tank and wood. I got up right away and as I turned on the light he calmed down, but he had scraped his side a little and his head!
It scares me to death when this happens cause I don't want him to die....
I know he'll always be ok, he doesn't do to much damage, but it still scares me.
Poor silly little O!!

mine use to the same,but instead of hitn the sides mine use to go up and head but the glass covers,was waitin for him to smash the lid,makes ya wonder what there thinkin??

man i love the hifin pangasius catfish,use to have one in a 1000l tank a few years ago they are really nice and grow huge unfortunate i can get them here in NZ otherwise i would setup a tank just for one of those.

you are right i remember mine darting around hitting everything with his nose,he was approx 800mm long so u can imagine all the noise

To be honest vbaby ive had to give em back to the shop i remember you saying in earlier post they got big i had a look on the net and just as you said they get massive.they are nice but best left in wild i think

Glad its not just mine! The other day my oscar scared the crap out of me, out of nowhere he just started splashing around in the tank for like 10 seconds. It looked like my tank was possessed, my lids were flying open and shut, water was flying literally all over the living room, and just a bunch of noise lol. surprisingly he had no scrapes or cuts, id imagine a nice headache though!
