Well, they are both doing great so far. No aggression what so ever.
The male is eating some frozen foods, but not much yet. I'm sure he will start to eat more later on once he gets comfy in the tank.

Great thread! I've been through the whole thing, and maybe I missed it but.. I saw that crushed coral substrate is a problem.. I do have crushed coral, with a sand bed on top. Would that work if the sand bed on top is deep enough?.. and if so, does the depth of the sand bed on top need to be consistent, or can I provide an area with deeper bed and leave the rest shallow? I mean, would a leopard (in general) recognize the area and not dive into the shallow bed? (I'm no where near ready for a leopard anyway..or any pod eater yet.. but I'm considering one once my tank mature)
My sand bed is 1" or so at the front of the tank, with it sloping up to the back of the tank where it is 3-5" at some points. It would need to be 3"+ deep in some places with just sand so that they can sleep without needing to go into the coral.
hmm.. typing at the same time. Thanks iamwrasseman.. since I won't be removing the coral, I'll wish for this fish in my next tank!![]()
lol were going in circles here ! woo hooooooo !
honestly i would let nature take its course and please dont be mad at me when i say that he is doing his death dance . i have seen it many times and none of them made it through the next couple of days sorry to say .
looks like he has lost his equilibrium and there so many ways that can happen from drugging to catch to excessivly bad water in shipping bag and many other things can hypothetically effect the fishes health .i must say that its nothing that you did as they come in with issues and often we cant see them when we first see them .
That sucks... Oh, okay. Hopefully the female will be fine.
