help, i just bought a golden wrasse on sunday night, and now its thursday.
ive seen the wrasse for for 2 mins when i put him in. and twice the next day. i know they live in the sand, but this is redunkulous! i think hes okay. i even tested the water levels, and its nearly perfect. i ran a chopstick hrough the sand. nothing came out! how else to get this guy out? he was very lively at the lfs.

von :(
 
Trying to force the fish to behave in an unnatural way--ie, not giving it sand to hide in--is not a good idea, and will stress the fish. Give the fish a few more days to get used to the tank--2 weeks is more realistic--and in the mean time, don't freak about it.
 
solved

so he finally is normal now, i just dont turn on the lights when i go to work, and instead, i open the blinds, so when i come home, i turn on the lights, he stays out later instead of digging back in the sand.
