Help!
Recently, my upside-down catfish has become a white colour, and is acting unusual. I am not sure if it is sick, or whatever... Please help me!

Re: Help!
What do you mean by acting unusual? if it's floating motionless at the top upsidedown don't worry this is normal 
Have you tested the water and how long have you had the catfish?

Serrasalmus
Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).
I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

Re: Help!
I'm having the water tested as we speak, and no, it is not floatin motionless... Usually it stays under the plants I have, but now it rests along the side of my tank, and will not move.

Re: Help!
Keep me updated on the results.
Are you sure you didn't buy a sideways catfish.

Re: Help!
Very funny Cichlid Man...
I will keep you posted... Right now it seems to be getting some colour back. I think it was stress because of the new fish. Oh well, thanks for your help!

Tiger shovelnose.
Funny you should say that, my shovelnose swims diagonal.
