Strange Behavior of L014s

Post by tagamasid1023 »

Hi! I recently purchased a a group of L014s online. They came in looking good and full of energy. These are my first L014s but I noticed something odd with their behavior. Its been almost twelve days now since I purchased them and I haven't seen them feed in my tank. I heard they are voracious eaters but these guys ignore servings infront of them. Moreover, they often swim towards the top of the tank and stay clinging on the glass. Sometimes, they lay on the sand in very strange ways (slanted/inverted)! I tried to catch them to test their agility and they are still very quick to hide among the rocks and woods. I'm afraid that I might see them lifeless one morning because they all have sunken bellies from not eating since I got them. All the other tankmates are doing good and eating well. No signs of discoloration or disease. Water temp is set at 80F and parameters are all normal. What could be wrong with them? ~X( Anyone have similar experience with their L014s?
