Hi
**Is this normal for a 'newly bought" radiant wrasse to just be lying down on his side, no motion unless pushed? Pic attached .. see detail below...
Thanks
I got a radiant wrasse from LFS today. I didnt see him swim around in tank, and I wish I did now. He was just burried in the sand. WHenever trying to get out of LFS tank he woudl re-bury. So I never got a look at him swimming, etc. I saw him in the bag of course, but he looked fine. But not swimming. I assumed he was stressed. In the bag at home he was lying in bag upside down, righting himself sometimes, but otherwise lethargic. I had to slowly acclimate b/c his salinity was only 1.017 . Mine was 1.0265 .. I was able to slowly get mine down to 1.024. After 3 hrs I put him in tank. He swam brief to just lay on his side. I got him out of tank really easily with a net. I put him him in the breeding trap you see, so I can get him out if he dies and I need to bring him back to LFS
