Question about new Motoro?

[wg666666]

I just picked up a new female 6-7 inch diameter female Motoro from a LFS yesterday...I had been watching her there since December (she was in a 10 gallon aquarium!!??).....she ate 4 krill just before they bagged her up for me, and ate 8 more after she was in my 220 gallon tank for just a few minutes......this morning, she wasnt too interested in eating, just cruising around the bottom exploring.....should I worry, or am I just being paranoid?? Also, should I add a little salt to the tank, as its only recently cycled?? I did own a couple Motoros in the late 80's-90's, but havent had one for about 12 years now.......Thanks for any info!

She's probably just getting aclimated to her new envroment.. It's a big step from a 10 gal to 220, she has alot to see..lol

I figured she was just getting used to the new environment......I still cant believe that she was doing OK in a 10 gallon tank!! Thanks!
