Missing Anthia

[bwgan]

Hi there,

I was in on wednesday and picked up a Blue LED and an Anthia. I put the fish in the tank after about an hour of acclimatising with the lights off and slowly adding tank water to the bag. I haven't seen the fish since its release. No sign of it at feeding time either. I noticed in your display tank that some of them were hiding. Do they take a few days to come out of their shells so to speak?

P.S. The LED looks awesome! Even the wife was impressed!

Cheers
Paul

they do tend to stay subdued for a few days after just going in a tank
usually for a week or so
its probably in the rock work
have a look when lights are off and put a bit of food in im sure it will be fine
keep me updated

glad you like the aquaray i think every tank should have one

Still no sign of it. They've been fedd with flake, frozen brine shrimp and cyclopeze. Going away for weekend so will update you when I get back
