Hey, so I got jack about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I've been wanting to get a JD for some time and saw these great little guys at a really trustworthy LFS and decided to take the opportunity to nab him. So, He's been coloring up nicely and filling out as well, great big apatite for all kinds of food. After my Sat water change the little guy has been looking a little downer, hanging out low in the tank and just been really mellow, I'm wary of feeding him too much but he's had a muted response to food...maybe i'm just seeing that. Anyways here are the specs.
Tank: 10g (don't worry he's only 1.5" at this point and i have a 20h and 40b currently I just don't want to have to put up that size of tank yet)
Filters: Aqueon 20g HOB, marineland 10g in tank stuffed with foam
Heater: 50w something or another
Lights: 2x 6700k 48" t8s split between 2 10gs
Substrate: Mixed black sand and #3 gravel arpox 1.5" depth
Temp: 78 degrees
NH3/NH3: 0 ppm
Nitrites: 0 ppm
pH: 7.4
When I got him I treated him with garlic additive both to the water and food for 1 week for parasites.

Here are the tests:
Now, I know JDs are known for being moody and i did just plant a few crypts in the tank after he had established his territory, please tell me he's just pouting?
