This is crazy, but:

Al is angry at me. Usually, when I go outside, he surfaces to socialize with me and will even follow me all around the pond. Since yesterday, he has been hiding from me- he doesn't surface, if he does poke his nose out he runs away if I move toward him. If he is under some plants and I move them he swims away.

I think he must be angry about the goldfish. If he doesn't stop being angry by the end of the week the fish will have to go. :(
