New sturisoma

Post by LimpingFish »

Hey all
I bought on monday one captive-bred sturisoma. 'till then it's stuck to the filter tube and not moving from there. I checked all day and most of the night, So I guess it's not eating as well..
How can I raise the odds of it.. well, not dying?
I think it just ate one tetra bit crumb, but i'm not even sure if it's healthy for it..
I tried putting next to it some vegeterian tetra tabs as well, and that tank is LOADED with algea..
Should I try blood worms as well?
Helllllppp


the sturisoma on it's first minute in the tank:

If you give it nice and clean water, not too much food, it should be able to fully recover. They tend to hide a bit when they first arrive in a tank.
