i just got a baby datnoid 2 days ago. 2-3 inches and it wont move... it stays at the top left corner and the heads pointing at an angle towards the gravel. whats wrong with it??? shouldnt it be fine after 2 days introducing it to the tank. it will swim sometimes. maybe liek every hour take a lap aroudn the tank and then go back.

Get used to it bro.

Because this could happen for a LONG time.

It is the one downside to datnoids, they can be very shy. I find if you have 3 or more they do better.
