Aquarium Advice Regular
I just got him a couple of days ago. I acclimated him to the tank by adding tank water to his bag while floating it. He seemed to be fine, wandering around the tank the first few hours then making a home in a slate cave. He's been eating algae wafers and strolling the tank at night.
Today I added some new plastic plants that were rinsed prior to placing them and also did a 10 gallon water change with de-chlorinated water.
A few hours later he was laying on his side for quite a while and I was hoping that he was preparing to molt but he wasn't moving at all and didn't move for over 2-3 hours. I netted him out and he was gone. Could the water change have anything to do with his demise? I feel terrible, the main reason I set up the tank was for blue crays.
