New Severum

[chrisrm]

i brought a red spotted sev yesterday put him in my tank and he was very intrested in my firemouth who was a little bit supprised!

he then moved himself into the firemouths cave and has stayed there since. is this normal (is he just finding his feet/ fins) or

should i worry?

he came out twice breifly but any movement and he darted back to his hiding spot.

how can i make sure he's eating?

yeah sound like he is just abit shy. sometimes this is normal yes. just takes a few days or so for him to get used to things, i feed mine frozen bloodworm and loves it so he will eat when he is ready if you add that and some good pellets.

hope you have alot of enjoyment out of your new fish

very cute I love the color. The Red spots are hard to sex because both male and females will have the same markings and long fins. Thats going to grow up to be a beauty.
