I've only had it for a week but its in a 50 gallon QT tank by its self. I've tried formula 2 flakes, sea weed melody, krill, not even remotely intrested.It seems very healty but acts very uneasy in the tank. Always swimming around the tank like it being chased or something. This is my first PBT so any input would help thanks.

give it some hiding places in the tank so that it can feel secure.

I agree with the hiding places also. Mine will dart in and out and any sudden movements it jets right back to its hiding spot. I have also noticed that mine wants nothing to do with Mysis but will tear up spirulina (http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+7927+8038+13937&pcatid=13937) or the green ocean nutrition marine seaweed (http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+7927+8048+5026&pcatid=5026) shredded up....
