I introduced a flame angel to my DT had lights off for awhile and he seemed okay swimming slowly around investigating I don't have any aggressive tank mates haven't seen any aggression to him at all.. he didn't eat anything day 1 and I had the lights on he was out and about.
day 2 now he has been hiding under the rock work and I can tell he is still breathing and moving around but won't come out. I panicked b.c he was on his side under one of the rocks for a little bit thought he was a goner.. but I have been monitoring him every hour or so and I haven't seen him on his side since. He has yet to eat or come out of his little cave.. any advice?
Is this normal and how long does it normally take to get them eating/stop hiding. Can a fish go like 7 days without eating or is he a goner after another day or two?
I can't catch him there is no way without destroying my rockwork/corals. I fed the tank 3 times today not even the smell brought him out ;/
