I don't know if I should post this in here since I'm not sure if it is really a disease, but my recently purchased Blue Jaw/Throat Trigger fish is acting weird. They are said to be very shy when first added to the tank, however the one I have doesn't seem phased when anyone approaches the tank, or is extremely close. He spends most of his time just cruising the top of the tank and hanging out near my one power head. When I put food in the tank he seems to be able to see it when it floats right by him, but doesn't bother to chase it. The only way I can get him to eat is by hand, and I have to practically slap him in the face with the krill before he takes a few nibbles. He actually bit my finger this morning by accident. He has also accidentally nipped at the other fish when I add food to the tank, like he knows the food is there, but can't locate it. His eyes don't seem to have any damage to them, and are not cloudy white like I would assume a blind fish would have. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? And if so is there anything that can help? Thanks so much.
