Lol I said I was inclined to believe you without question I figure he's probably just not dominant after all the other monsters you had him in with, and now that he's alone maybe he'll ego-up
I should have given you the White Midas instead - I replaced him with the one I gave you and he destroyed my tank - he beat up all the other large fish in one night. uhhhhhh what a disaster, needless to say hes back on his own.
Sounds like my kind of luck though. Come up with some glorious master plan, give away a few fish to carry out the glorious plan...and then all goes to hell, lol. You should put the little guy in there when he's a bit bigger.
Thanks for the comments, all. Talon is doing well today...still a little skitish, makes a beline for his cave when you walk in the room or move too fast, but usually stops just outside of it now rather than just diving in. He's coming out and exploring now, and maybe its just my imagination, but his nuchal hump seems a little larger already
Couple more from tonight...cleaned the glass so you can actually see him now! He's showing interest in me and the camera now too, makes it easier to get pics.
