He seems to be doing a bit better now. He's at least up on his feet and moved into the rock sometime today. Last night I ended up submerging his
lil home in my main tank thinking the water quality and temp would be better and more consistent. We are heading to Saskatoon tomorrow so i hope to get a new home for him. Either a 5 or 10 gallon tank depending on what I find.
Yes, I acclimated. Probably better that I normally do even.
And no... I was not bugging him every 5 minutes. I was probably only checked him out 4 - 5 times that day.
I'll try to get a pic once he's settled into his new home and doing well. Thanks for the replies.
