New pair of ocellaris, got them last Sunday from LFS - tank raised
I picked out 1 inch & the other 3inches - in hopes to mate someday
Acclimated them for 2.5 hours
The first few hours they were in there, they were very curious - (I have some clowns that don't move from behind a heater or filter much when they are introduced). Their first night in, they nestled onto the sand on the left hand side of the tank. They are mouth breathers, whereas none of my others are - but I've never had the orange ocellaris before, just maroon, tomato, b&w and clarkii. These new guys don't move from the spot, they don't ever come to each anything during feeding time - have tried about 10 different kinds of food, as all my tanks get varied diets day to day anyway.
Sg is 1.24
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
PH 8.4
I'm concerned there may be something wrong, but to the eye, I see no physical signs of illness. When purchased, they were swimming around fine. They are currently in with an orange spotted goby in a 14g. Will move to 75 after QT.
Any thoughts?
Is there something else I should be looking for?
