Thanks for asking. Mine is doing good. He's still fairly small but I would guess it's about 7" and just a tiny bit thicker. I'll post new pics when I get a chance plus he has some new tank mates.
As for his behavior when I first got him, he didn't do much. Mostly just wedged himself in between the filter or heater. I had some plants floating in the tank as well that he would hide in. What is yours doing that worries you?
Remember SAL are nocturnal, so you won't see much happening until they figure out when food is regularly around during the day. Then you might see it moving towards the food or gulping air.
I would definitely love to see pics!
Yeah, my SAL is just floating on plants at the surface, and doesn’t do much. Glad to know that’s semi-standard at this stage. I did read somewhere that might be an indication it’s still getting used to surroundings.
My main concern is that mine hasn’t shown much interest in food. I have mine in a planted 10Gal because it’s so small, and perhaps it’s finding food when I’m not observing. I got it to eat 3 bloodworms 2 days ago, but it didn’t eat yesterday. I did my feeding around 6pm, so maybe it was still too early? Aside from bloodworms, I tried feeding “Freshwater Frenzy” frozen cube (in like those FW multipack frozen foods). And a spirulina frozen mix, too.
