So I got my new guy Gilbert this cushy 10 gallon tank, some real plants, places to hide in... he's living the good life. But I have a couple questions.
1) Does he not like his food? I only give him 1-2 pellets at meal time to avoid overfeeding but even if he hadn't eaten for the whole weekend (had to go out of town) he still just spits it out having it in his mouth a few seconds, then swims away. He doesn't seem as vibrant as when I bought him (could just be the light) but he does seem to be very active as far as exploring the tank and moving around.
2) I got a filter a few days into having the tank set up (had him only 6 days now) and although the cloudiness of the water cleared up within a day, I don't think he likes it. When i first put the filter in he goes and explores and floats down under the current for a while then it seems he just sticks to one side of the tank and doesnt move as much. I just turned the filter off and he's swimming around that side like crazy... my main question is, can i put the filter on say only at night or someting so that he has time to be active without it, or will it not do it's job like this? I want him to be happy, but healthy as well :P
Thanks in advance
