What's normal
....I had one, it never settled in, and then it jumped
....so be sure you have a good lid...
Is something chasing it?

meowzer thanks for the quick reply. nobody is bothering him. I thought they were cool fish? the up and down is not working for me. He did stop to eat but then went back to the up and down and is hitting his jaw and it looks scratched up.

As long as he is eating all is good for now. Keep feeding him, use some vitamins too. How did you acclimate him? I ask because maybe he is having a little bit of a hard time with the difference in the water from the fish store to your tank, I would turn the lights out for 24 hours and see how it goes.

HMMMM....IDK then....sounds like a fish would act under stress
I got one cause I thought it was cool too....BUT I guess since it jumped, it didn't think I was cool

I got him off this site and did the drip acclimation for an hour. I will let him rest.

I got one of these little fellas yesterday at my LFS and he did the same thing for awhile. Now all he does is sit on top of my mag float lol. Doesnt go into the sand of on the rocks but sits on top of the mag float that is pulled down to the bottom and I hate to move it up to the top cause he seems to like it. Guess I will give him a few days then I will move it back to the top.
