When I got Stellios a week ago, he was all over the tank exploring, swimming, floating and eating like crazy!! (It was really hot out too so his tank reached 20.5 degrees.) I was also finding 3-4 poops a day.
This week, he's quite shy and hides a lot, rarely coming out and doesn't eat nearly as much as he was eating and won't eat mysis shrimp anymore. His temps are between 16.9 and 18.5 now. I'm lucky if I find 1 poop a day now.
Was it the higher temps that made him more active and eat more? Was it the newness of the tank and now he's settled in? There are no curled gills or tail.
