Hello Everyone,
I'm still pretty new to the hobby and still learning the ropes. If this isn't the right forum for this, let me know. Yesterday, I added a tailspot blenny and watchman goby to my quarantine tank after bringing them home from a LFS. At the store, both fish were active and healthy. Since I brought them home, they have not eaten and are hardly moving. I would be pretty stresssed out too if I'd been taken from one tank, to a bag, to a bucket, to a new sterile tank, but it's ben 36 hours at this point, and they're not showing much improvement. How long should it typically take for fish to start recovering from a tank move? These are the first fish that I'm putting in this QT setup.
Here's the specs for the quarantine tank right now:
-10 gal w/ HOB filter & 75W Heater
-~76 degrees F
-I have some Fritz Zyme in there to help buffer the amonia level, but I'm planning to do regular water changes.
-Salinity 1.025
Salt: Pro Reef Tropic Marin; all the water parameters are consistent with the info sheet for the salt mix
Is there anything else that I should be doing for them? What should I check?
Thank you!
