    Well just an update, He seems to be doing very well so far no signs of stess and he is eating well. I would think if he was cold water he would be showing signs of stress?. [smiley=thinking2.gif]

    My Temp is at 82°F and it seems happy

    So far it has eaten mysis shrimp, table shrimp, and clam. I am going to try other things he won't go for anything small. The lfs was feeding pellet food but I don't really feed dry staple.

    If you have any food suggestions let me know. I'm willing to try anything.
