new firefish

[Conlius]

He was hanging around out in the front of the display, which was awesome because i can see him all the time. The clowns started chasin him around a little bit and he ended up in the overflow. After i took him out he just hid in the rock work. He came out for a few hours today and hung out in the open but went back and hid in the rocks again...

he is in a 20L display with no lid, you think he will end up on the floor? if he is, ill have to move him out.

Good chance he will jump. Esp where your tank isnt so deep, its kinda shallow.

I had one that did well until i started to move things to a new tank (that i made escape proof) but he jumped out before getting to the new tank.

Then i got a purple one. He did well until i added more fish. Then every day he would jump into the overflow. He ended up living in there for a while until i found him a new home.

They dont handle change well and spook easily at lound noises or movements. If he stays put for the first few days you are doing well but not out of the woods. I would be highly concerned he would jump one day.

hope that helps....

thanks. He is with 2 small false percs and a bangaii cardinal. There won't be any more fish added to the tank. If i find him in the overflow again he is gone i think. I will force my brother to take him
