Just recieved Dats ( shipped)

[fishfin]

When I recieved my Dats they were laying on the bottom of the bag but still breathing.

After floating the bag and put the fish into the tank after 20 mins The fish are still on

the bottom of the tank. Has anyone have this happen before.?????

Stress? Lack of oxygen?
Just add some melafix/salt and make sure there is a lot of oxygen, turn the lights out and try not to disturb them.

When stressed my datnoids will occasionally lay down on the bottom.

Make sure they have heaps of oxygen though.

Give them some cover too. Plants, flower pots, or a two story condo with a swimming pool and low association fees will go a long way.
