I imagine he feels threatend. Dats can take a while to warm up to their new tanks. Give him time, but just watch out for the others harrasing him.

I had one like that when i had dats back in the day. I had 5 in the tank altogether, and one hid in this large rock. When he finally croaked, I didnt know it for a couple days. :cry: I noticed when he didnt come out for feedings. I think the fish is just really skittish. Or maybe hes paranoid :screwy:
