I am not a horse expert, but 2 days does not sound like an overly long time for a critter to acclimate to a tank, could it still be adjusting to the move? Also, did you see it eating frozen at LFS or did they just tell you it was eating?

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
