my blue thought trigger is going CRAZY!!!!!

[Prozium]

so I have a male blue thought trigger about 4" long fat and healthy. he gets feed 2x a day with my 5 tangs (2x yellow, purple, sail fin, scopes) there in a 150g display and for the last couple of days every once in a while he goes NUTS does a half a lap to a full lap swimming full speed at the top of the tank making all kinds of splashing noise then jets to the bottom of the tank does a 360 with his nose/face in the sand and then goes to his hiding spot for a min, after he acts like nothing happened......what the heck:neutral:

How long have you had him and have you added any fish recently?

Have you had any issues with ich lately? I have had fish act the same way then break out with ich.

he's been in there for over a month, and there was an ich problem about 3weeks back, but I treated the tank and have not seen any sign of it since.

IMO... 5 tangs is alot in a 150, I have 4 in my 210

Maybe he is half flasher wrasse? Blue throats are mischievous and will put quite a bit of effort into getting your attention. They will splash water over the edge when hungry etc. Maybe he is just acting out.

Back when I had my fowlr my golden puffer would spit water at me if I didn't feed him fast enuf or he got in a mood for some reason, my wife thought it was hilarious and he would spit more water than you would think he could :)

My Blue Throat acts out when he is hungry at times as well. He usually bites at the top of the water till I look over at him. He also darts across the tank from time to time to show other fish what he considers his territory in the tank. Perhaps with the other 4 large fish he is trying to show off in order to protect his hiding spot.
