He was 16.99 an they charge 24.00 shippin on orders up to 175.00 above that shipping is free.
I ordered two fish so I figure total the Nugget cost me like 30.00

Ya Id been trying to get a hold of one for awhile, but no LFS near could get any for under like 40.00 So I jumped when I saw I could get one for under that.

I think it was partially shock from going into a new tank, an pretty much my fault. I plan to get another sooner or later.

I think it was the shock from going outve a well established tank into a larger tank that had just been cycled.
He was Eating cucumber, an a color/cichlid flake combo(whatever hit the gravel). then once in the bigger tank he just stayed stuck to the glass. I think they can be a lil finicky.
Live an learn.

I have fed mine on the same diet. had it for 2 months now.
