    Thanks everyone.
    He seems to be doing better today. Breathing is back to normal, as well as the coloring. Still no signs of burrowing, so I made a little "burrow" out of a few various PVC pieces. The fish hasn't taken to it yet, but is investigating.

    Hope it all works out. It's been at least 10 years since I've had one, but I recall that it took nearly a week before he became part of the tank. At first he was like a kid at the first day of school.

    You'll probably be fine. Good luck! :)

    Okay!!

    Good to hear. I don't think it ever took either of mine that long to acclimate. Maybe 3 or 4 days from what I can remember. Sounds like he's calming down and looking around for a prospective home now. I think you'll be OK.:cheesy:
