This morning I got my first 2 frontosas. Not sure of strain, but one is about 2-3" other is about 3-4", cost $19.99 each. The smaller one is doing great, actively swimming around the tank and checking things out all day. The larger one, has been acting funny since it was bagged. during acclimation it mostly chilled in the corner of the bag. once in the tank, it almost appeared like shock, and he just sunk to the bottom, swims and floats, but has what looks like tremors or shakes. now about 8 hours later. less time on bottom, always floating, or swimming but never really moves other than the jerking in place. Is this normal? Sorry I don't have any pictures or video yet. Hoping it'll be ok, but as never having these, don't know what the movements are like. Yes I've done my research, but no I don't know how they move.
 
nothing, visual other than movements..he's still alive this morning, still hovering above sand, but at least not resting on it...
water params are fine...
nitrate about 10ppm
nitrite about 0
hardness around 150-200
ph around 8.4
 
It may have just needed to get use to tank... Fronts do exactly swim all over the tank... They sort of just float about, unless they are chasing something or digging for food...
