I just bought an 8" thinbar and put it in my 110 gal with an 11" florida gar an a 12" ornate bichir. The thinbar keeps hiding either at the top or in a corner. How long will it take for it to get stable. Neither the gar nor the bichir bother it. the whole tank is basically for the whole datnoid. HELP PLEASE?!?!

when you say you JUST bought it, did you just pick it up today?
it normally takes 2-3 days for them to come around though there are some that come around almost instantly...

Just give him some more time. Also, keep an eye out to make sure he is not getting bothered by the tankmates.
some fish take a couple of days while others will take a couple of weeks. It all depends on the fish. My NTT took a good 2-3 weeks before it came out of its hiding spot, but now its stable and out swimming around

My little guys stabilized very quickly when I added more dats. Make sure you have a lot of hide spots...that helps too.
But like everyone else said, you just got him so he needs time.
