Stressed dwarf gourami?

[sallyjano]

I got a new DG on Saturday. I introduced him correctly (adding a cup of tank water to his bag every 10 mins for 45 mins). Since adding him he is looking really stressed. He is going up and down the same piece of tank glass non stop/obsessively.

It's a 60g so plenty of space. Plenty of plants for hiding and a bunch of long Val's going across the top acting as floating plants. Water params are perfect.

Any idea what's up with my DG?

He might just be stressed for a while because of the new tank...

Maybe. Thanks I hope that's it as he's a real handsome fellow and I'll be sad to lose him!

Oh good question! I meant to include that. Nothing that should stress him I don't think:

Mollies, swordtails, neon tetras, a few guppies and 5 australian rainbow fish. I did read somewhere that some fish don't like rainbows as they are so fast moving but I was reading up on compatibility and seemed like they'd be ok with a DG.

Thoughts?
