Very Skitish Severum

[Mr Spoon]

I got a new red spotted severum last week he"s about 2". I had to move him out my 400L as he just seemed scared in there and not eating, none of the fish were bothering him, anyway i moved him in to a 60L tank for now with my albino cory and he's much happier, eating and relaxed, but-- i just cleaned the glass with magnet thing and he's gone mad, dont know why he so skitish, hope he calms down

He may well settle down. Sevs, especially, can settle down a lot as they get older.

However, some fish are just skittish, period. It's in their character. You won't know about this one until you've had him a while !

For the moment, just be patient.

Thanks for reassurance , your both right, i'm probably worrying about nothing, it's just i hate seeing a fish unhappy and stressed

Yes, we've all been there and can empathise with you !

Remember to interact with the fish frquently, with plenty of tank maintenance and doing "stuff" in the tank. The fish will then get used to your attentions quicker than if you just leave it alone all the time.
