Firefish missing

[tcunha]

Drip acclimated about on Tuesday and he went straight to hidden mode! Have not seen him since.
I only have my clean up crew and 2 clowns which are so peaceful. The tank has a lid and not even seeing him come out for feeding.

Any thoughts?

A lot of firefish do this in the beginning. Sometime it can take weeks for them to emerge. I have one that was in my large tank for about 6 months. I moved him to my new 36g. He's the only one in the tank. He stayed out all the time the first week. Now for the last 3-4 weeks he's been hiding and only pokes his head out occasionally when I feed.

hmmm interesting. I did see his poke out when I fed on Wednesday but not the last couple. Hopefully he will build some courage and enjoy. I am going to pick up about 4 more frags this weekend and another turbo.
