give him time and he will adjust...
if the previous owner had him on pellets already then thats great.
get him to get used to you feeding him.

He's not eating the pellets anymore so each day I drop a couple in and he ignores them. I figure eventually he'll start eating again.
I mentioned in another thread also - is it worth scraping the pellets out afterward to maintain water quality or should I just leave it there for risk of scaring him?

YOU SHOULD HAVE!! PICKED upi one or two of his GIRLY lookin mates!!! When the hump is that large and that RED!! The male is ready to go!!!
Actually, no. When he was in a group with his friends he just hid and was very skittish. Being in a pack made him more timid.
As for the hump - it has almost gone, so there goes the theory by the guy that said they were permanent!!
Hopefully he'll come round!
