I just got a new member to the family yesterday, and after acclimating him to water temperature/conditions, I put him in. What I'm finding weird is his behavior; he seems to be swimming vertically near the glass of the aquarium since I put him in. He's not reaching for air at the surface or anything, he just seems to be paddling around vertically near the edges. I figured I'd sleep and see if this stopped in the morning, but I just woke up and he seems to be doing the same thing (hope he stopped to sleep..).
I'm wondering if this might be normal, and maybe he's stressed out from the journey still (~20 min car drive)? My tank is a 14g Biocube and he's sharing the space with a yellowtail damsel. Also have 14lbs of live rock and a medium Zoanthid colony, parameter are:
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrites: 0ppm
Nitrates: 0ppm
pH: 8.1
Thanks in advance for any help
