So I recently got Chantz, a crowntail. While he seems pretty fine swimming around (not to mention a little quick to dart off and hide when presented with anything at his glass), I still feel a little uneasy for him.
Do CTs' fins normally droop more when not flared? I haven't even seen the boy flare yet, and I've tried. But perhaps he's just a little more care-free than others, which is fine! He seemed a little droopy at the pet store, too (as I would be, in that kind of circumstance!), which is why I felt inclined to take him home. There are also times where he seems to swim with a very slight tilt to the side, though it's only here and there. I think that may partially be due to the filter (though it's a very gentle flow).
I'd just feel better if he flared or built a bubble nest. But I guess a lot of it could have to do with adjusting to his new home, too. It's only been about 2 1/2 days, so... Maybe I'm just a worrywart?
