Ray,
if you didn't start the acclimation whn you did I dont think he would have made it.
After I got him home and finished acclimating him to my tank. I place him in and he sank like a rock, breathing was semi heavy. I thought he would not last the night.
Next morning I could not find him. Came home from work to find him behind the rock work getting a cleaning from my two cleaner shrimp. Then two hours later he is swimming around like I have had him for years. Did not eat untill Thursday night.
The Idols took to the tank right away. They seem to be not as timmid as the last group of Idols. They were eating within an hour after acclimation.
