Hi all,
2 days ago I put 2 yellow tail damsels and 3 red clawed hermit crabs in my tank (15g). The 2 fish stick in their corners under living rock and almost never come out. The hermits do not move form the spot (one of them molted while in the transport so this could explain it but the other 2...??)
The water seems fine after a 20% change and the tank is cycled: 0 NH4+; 0 NO2-; <20 NO3-; pH 8.4...
What could explain the passive behavior? Might it be the adjustment time? (The fish were much more lively when I got them though?) In the case a fish seems sick, would it be kosher to sacrifice it in order to prevent the spread of disease?
Thanks for any answers!
