Howdy,
Picked up a manderin over the weekend. Floated for 30 than drip acclimated for a good 30 before adding to an acclimation box in the tank for an hour.
He was breathing very heavy the whole time. He had some stressfull events happen in the store from jumping out of the specimen container to being rebagged so I kind of peg it on that.
I can't find him in the tank - and yes I have a screen top he can't fit out of.
It's a 30 gallon tank do not many spots to hide but I'm questioning if he's dead under a rock or something. Do people find they hide for the first week or so?
