How soon before you search?

I hate posting this but was wondering how long everyone gives a fish that was introduced to your tank before you go looking for it/them?

It really depends on the species. If they generally hide, it may take awhile before I'm concerned. If they aren't the hiding type, I'll look pretty early on.

I'm a bit torn, haven't seen the gudgeons since Sunday night when added. I've tried to use my eel to flush them out, as well as live brine shrimp and nothing. No more timid fish for this guy.

Hiding fish are not fun. [emoji3]

I saw the 1 shortly after introducing and got a pic, my biggest fear is they got buried when my eel went under the rock I saw them dart under last. Not worried he'd eat but him moving sand with his body underneath and burying/trapping. My eel doesn't hide this much hahaha
