So what is the normal behavior for just getting a fish shipped to you. My yellowtail just came from live aquaria ,bag float and my salinity matched what the fish came in. Well he is just chilling in the corner not swimming, breathing normal and moving his eyes. If I give try to grab him he will swim away. Thanks

Sounds pretty normal. Think about how u would feel after being in a bag, in the dark for about 24 hours, and then put into a new environment. gl

edit: if u have your lights on full... maybe turn them down some.

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