Aquarium Advice Regular
I put four fantails into my new pond today. I introduced them gradually, letting water temperature in the bag equalise before releasing them. They swam around fine for a while, took some food, nibbled the plants, all seemed ok. But as the evening has gone on they got quieter and stiller, and all four are now 'resting' on the gravel at the bottom. They are all up the right way, not on their sides or upside down. (Have just looked again and they have changed position slightly, but they are very still.
Is this normal behaviour or a bad sign? I'm worried.
I've had a tropical tank for a while and I remember being worried for no reason when I first put catfish in, because they will sit at the bottom for ages not doing anything.
