I bought a kel Saturday that is 6'' and he is being held in a 29gal QT tank and he still has not eaten which is no surprise but when I went to try and feed him a little while ago I caught him off guard and he rammed his head against the top of the tank.
I see no visible damage but he is now swimming erratically backwards and upside down sometimes.
He was formerly housed in a 450gal which would explain him being skittish in a 29gal but I have to QT him.
What should I do?
I also usually QT any new arrivals for 6 weeks just to make sure but I am thinking of cutting my QT time down on this one since he is used to having a lot of room and I don't want anymore injuries. How long do you guys usually QT new arrivals?
