need help with damsel situation

Post by zenix »

So I just got this 3 Stripe Damsel and brought him home, did the whole acclimation thing with the water and all that. He was doin fine at first, then about 20 minutes in, he gets these brown spots and starts layin on his side, breathin kinda hard. That was like 4 hours ago, spots are gone now, but he's still breathin pretty fast and just chillin in one spot, not swimmin around. I threw some food in, see if he'd eat, but nothin. My water params are good, so I'm wonderin if he's just stressed or what's goin on.

He's probably just stressed, but we'll have to wait and see how he does.

Thanks for the reassurance, I'm really worried about him, don't wanna lose him. Hopefully he just needs some time to settle in and he'll be fine.
