Picked up this little guy about a 5 days ago, he's put on some weight by eating about 25 guppies in those 5 days... Probably too small to ID, right now I got him in a 20g with my compressiceps and he has yet to eat any of them...

nice pick up... but, 5 days ago????? and still stressed... check water params,,,........ not unless you got him today?
 
I agree with junior he's showing signs of super stress!! At least he's eating..
 
yea, lots of stress for 5 days in.. wonder what's bothering him? the small tank? the not so friendly neighbors?

good luck, he's gonna be a handsome guy when he gets big and settled in.
 
Can you take out the comp? If so do it. Take out the bubble wand and replace it with a airstone and bump the temp.
 
what other fish you got in there with him?

6x .25"-.50" Alto Compressiceps. I figured he'd eat them but he hasn't yet. He doesn't bother them and they don't bother him. I just did a WC though...

has he always showed the stress markings before the water change?
