I've had him for few months now and he would always come out with the other fish to eat. He lives in a 29 gallon planted community tank, along with 3female kribs and pair of apisto's (orange flash), two small blue rams and a pair of very young ottos.
For the past three days, he hasn't come out to eat with the rest of the fish, he hides and if I try to look at him, he darts off. He was showing great color, red from his chin to his belly. He had paired up with the largest of the female kribs and I thought they were going to breed, they teamed up together to chase the other two females off and they hung out in a coconut hut.
I'm really concerned about him, he seems depressed and I can't get a good look at him to see if anything is wrong. Any ideas why this could be happening?
As I said, it's a planted tank, pretty dense, CO2 injected and 2 x 65 watts of light overhead, but he's been fine for the past couple of months in this tank. Could the females have anything to do with it, them fighting over him?
