So I pick up a new addition to my DT. From one of my LFS had 4 Royal Gramma's. I pick the one who was a more active swimmer.
Took him home popped him in my drip accumulation container and drip for an hr. He did what all fish do. Went straight to a corner in drip container.
When it was time to move to DT move in on him with net real slow. Did not have to chase with net. Sliding net up the wall and covered with hand. In the past learned the hard way when not covering net.
Moved him to tank shot across the surface like he was in acid water. He hid in the corner behind a protein skimmer for a while. I started panicking. I was able to poke him out and back into net.
Put him into a small breeder box with a small rock to observe him.
So I'm guessing when I remove him from acclimation to display tank. I must have pinched him with the net against the wall.
This was in the evening last night. He was horizontally challenged slightly upside down.
Woke up this morning he has bedded down next to the rock like a normal fish. Today he is still horizontally challenged. is taking food live Brine and some pellets.
So I'm hopeful he may recover. What do you all think???
