Hey everyone,
I purchased a black cap basslet online and it got delivered to me yesterday. Upon delivery I acclimated the fish and put it directly into my cycles QT and it’s been lying down on its side ever since. I checked up on it earlier this morning and it was still at the same spot. The breathing seems to be normal and not heavy. Is this normal for black caps or is there something wrong? I haven’t tried feeding it as I just haven’t found a reason to yet since it still seems stressed out. No visible white spots or external parasites, fins are perfectly fine and not ragged at all. Should I try to feed it later?
