So I got my little guy yesterday. He's a red crowntail with a silver body and this one little fin on his side that has a white stripe pattern.
He's gorgeous and I love him to pieces but I think I may have dropped him in straight at the deep end (ahem)
His tank is new and hasn't gone through the cycles yet. It's filtering at a low level and I know that cloudiness is normal when the cycling is happening.
I'm feeding him once a day, and at the moment thinking of doing a 15% water change every day, just to keep him happy while the tanks still cycling.
Is this the right thing to do? He was lively yesterday, flared up at his own reflection and generally displayed himself a lot more then he's done today. Right now he tends to go down to the bottom corner where the water isn't moving as much or nestling down in his flower decoration where I think he can rest comfortably.
I don't want to lose the little guy, but I think my newbness isn't helping. Any help much appreciated!
