Yah! I got one, I know I know who cares, more fish for my 29gallon lightly planted with 3 guppies. It is an albino corydora and it is tiny. I know they like to be in large groups but this little guy was in a tank full of guppies by himself, so I got him and will be buying him some friends this weekend. Anyway I do have a problem. He has been in there for about an hour now, he was floated then I added some tank water then I released him, and he will swim franticly all over the tank, top and bottom then sit on the bottom like he is really tired for a while. He looks really freaked out. Is it just because he is adjusting or is there a problem? He looked healthy in the store and had been adjusting in the store for at least a week. (I had seen him before) There is one tablespoon of salt in the water, probably less because I added it about 2 weeks ago and have done a water change since then. All my levels are fine and the temp is 82degrees F. I know there are unlimited possibilitys but any help or advice would be appriciated. Also are there any Missourians out there? Do you live in the middle or southwest area? If so where do you buy your fish? :confused: I can't find any dependable stores anywhere :huh: Anyways I live in lebanon but am constantly in springfield or jeff city and everywhere inbetween. Thanks!!!!!!!, sorry so long and boring!!
 
It sounds like hes just settling in and adjusting. I wouldn't be too worried about it. If you acclimated him well then you shouldn't have too many problems. Although, there might be other factors inducing stress in there. He will be much more "normal" when you get him some buddies though.
