microglanis iheringi-how long to settle down?

Hiya,

I purchased 5 of m. iheringi. They are not perfectly healthy (strange fin disappearing disease) but this was first time I saw them here and I couldn't resist.
They got their own tank (around 60l). I got them since last friday. They don't want to eat :]. Smallest fish is eating nicely but other 4 are not interested in food.
Any advice? Fins slowly recover without any medicine.
They got plenty of hiding spots. Temp. is about 22C. Water without No2 and No3 15-20mg/l.

Regards.

They always take a little bit longer than most other catfish in getting used to a new environment, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I reckon they'll be at their greedy selves in about two weeks.

You might raise it a little to let's say 24-25C. In my view this is a more comfortable temperature for Microglanis.

Thanks guys,

I will slowly raise temp. to 24C :).

Good to know that it take them more time - I really started to worry :).

Regards.
