I know I should have acclimated better so I probably won’t do it like this again.
I bought a royal gramma from a lfs(not actually local, but brought it home with an insulated cooler, about 5 hours). I did a temperature acclimation only and it’s been sitting at the bottom of the tank breathing fairly regularly with occasional quick movements. It’s been like this for about an hour and I want to know if I should take it out and put it back with some water it came with and do a better job acclimating or just ride it out. It’s been about an hour.
I hope I’m not killing this fish, but I thought I’d wait and see for a bit because I’ve heard they can act weird when introduced to a new tank.
Thanks in advance
