    I have had this guy for about 3 days now and he is just kinda staying in the back of the tank, i have thousands of pods in the tank currently, i see them on the glass all the time but he does not seem like he wanting to hunt around for them...The ones ive seen on youtube and stuff are always active and running around the tank eating pods..This guy is about 2.5" and really fat but does not seem to want to be to active....Whats the matter with him? is it normal since he has been in the tank only for a few days.?

    I've found it will takes them a few days to adjust....Then they get to check out their new home. Good for you.
