Hi everyone.
I wanted to share Slidy's recent behavior ! :)
It seems like he is not enjoying his tank.. When I go near his tank he starts swimming really fast and then when I offer him food he doesnt wants it.. So its not begging for food behaviour ...
Before when I use to bring him out of his tank he use to hide in a corner somewhere .. But now he keeps on following me almost everywhere .. If I sit down he will sit near me.. Is this normal ?
He doesnt follows anyone in the house like this.. Not even my mom who feeds him daily.
Though I feel really happy that he stays close to me.. But just wanted to know if others experince such behavior as well ? :)

He might not be seeing the food in the water. He's following you because he associates you with food, especially if you interact with him the most. :)
