Hey guys so I went to our LFS and picked up a melanurus (adult male) that had been in their display tank for a few months the guy said. The moment we put him into the tank he nose dived straight into the sand... which we expected. A few days passed and then we saw him for a few moments as he floated around the top of the tank. Since then we haven’t seen him for about a week. I’ve noticed a lot of sand on my frag rack but not sure if that’s from him or that I moved it much lower in the tank.
If it means much the guy at the lfs claimed he was in their sand for nearly 3 weeks and they assumed he was dead but then one morning he was there ready to eat.
My question is do you think I should stir the sand and try and flush him out? I’d hate for him to be dead in the sand and my phosphates getting ready to go through the roof.
