Got a little 3.5" male p. multifasciatus from COTA. Been in the tank for about 2 weeks now. He has a huge piece of driftwood that I occasionally see him weaving through, but for the most part he just sits in this little slot in the driftwood where I can't see him. He comes out to eat, and pokes his head out of the driftwood to look at the siphon during water changes. Other than that he is afraid of any movement outside the tank and hugs the driftwood/bottom. Tank has no substrate ATM, just 2 big sponges, driftwood, and a tidal HOB.
Is it normal for him to be this skittish? He seems to be coming out more readily to eat, but that's about it. I've been giving him worms, and I have gambusia that I can throw in if that'll help.
