How Long To Aclimatise..

[smithrc]

tonight, get a torch and feed after lights out.... leave it a while (with the lights in the room out)...

Hopefully your eyes will adjust after a while and you'll be able to see the fish... keep an eye on him and I bet he's coming out... just very shy...

the torch will allow you to see for definite

puta wafer in his cave he should eat it cos he will feel secure in there what else do you have in the tank with him

cheers dane

Just 3 Danios (2 leapord & 1 i'm not 100% if its zebra or another), which he had in the last aquarium with him and my new addition 6 white cloud mountain minnows - i can see him move about & he seems healthy enough, just really bugging me now as ive never had this problem
Heres a wee pic - not sure if it will help, but this is the furthest ive seen him out since teh changeover

Its not that daft... I have hours of night vision footage of a catfish pellet in a breeding trap ...
All just to make sure our zebra fry were eating

It dosnt take long to check with fast forward

Well he still hasnt eaten Thats 5 days now - i hope he starts eating his pellets soon - i've even tryed a different brand - i really hope this is normal.

Thanks for posting those pics! Once i get my slate cave here & in I'll re-arrange one corner to make it a little more shady & covered.

How does he feel about cucumber??

Quick update - all's going well I left the landing light on one night by mistake & woke up for a midnight snack lol - to find him eating I'm not sure if it was because the light was on though - so on the lookout for a form of low light kit i can attach for night

Oh and regard the cucumber - i lost my old clip somewhere in moving teh old aquarium - bought a new one today so i can add some of that tonight

Good news

Have a look at the DIY section for my pinned moonlight thread

The kits on ebay are cheep but not that reliable - I'd get the bits separately
Any Q's just PM me
