I thought that's a cool fish, feeding well, should get along with all his tankmates, here's your $40.
A couple of hours later, in he goes, to my heavily live rock filled 160 gal, a brief swim around and disappears into some dark corner, never to be seen again. Or so I thought!
Seventeen days later, the wife wrote him off after a week, here I am watching American Idol and holding my 4 month old son, when I catch a flash of magenta move across one of the many caves in my tank. Sure enough, enticed by a little flake food, Mr casual swims back into the picture, like nothing had happened, I nearly dropped the baby!
That was quite an acclimation period, but he seamed none the worse for wear. I swear I had walked around the tank stand and searched every dark nook and cranny, in and out of the tank, with a flashlight on more than one occaison. Just goes to show you, how resilient those little fish are.
