Hi Guys!
So I just recently added a Bolivian Ram to my 29g fully cycled tank. Tank inhabitants prior to the Bolivian include 7 Black Neon Tetra, 4 Panda Cories and 3 Amano Shrimp. He has only been in there a few hours, and has been acting really skittish. At one point he slammed himself against the gravel a few times, freaking out. Then I freaked out a little because I didn't quarantine him, and thought it might be ich. But he only did it when I stood in front of the tank, so I'm thinking more than likely I just spooked him? Does this seem right? I have an empty 55 gallon I'm waiting to fill up and start a fishless cycle, so if he keeps showing these odd behaviors, should I fill the 55 up, throw in some safestart and put him in there?? Thanks in advance!
