    OP doesn't say how old the fish was before he got him, could've been an adult fish already.

    I agree with coralline, if it's not getting picked at, leave it in the tank, there would be too much added stress catching it and putting it in a new container, IMO.

    Sorry to be a Debbie downer but I think you now have a better understanding of why I am the way I am regarding fish selection.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    And this is why I am reluctant to buy fish.
