So last night I picked up a male and female ruby finned fairy wrasse. I floated them for 20 mins then acclimated them to my tank for 30 to 40 mins. I put them in the display. (I don't have a qt rn due to my situation) the female was put swimming around for awhile until she found a little hole in a rock where she hid. The male almost immediately found a hole and seam into it. They both looked like there were breathing hard. I have read some stuff this am and don't know the difference between gilling and breathing hard.
I got up early this am to go to work and the female was out but not swimming she was on the sand bed upright and didn't seem to be breathing hard until I shined a light in the tank to get a better look. The male was in his cave still and didn't seem to be breathing real hard until I shined the light.
I read that wrasse stress easily and will take a few days to acclimate. Think I need to be worried or what are yo8r thoughts?
