Welcome to Planet Catfish!!!

Beautiful little fish, too.

If you weren't hooked on cats before you joined here, spend a little time here and you will be.

What a handsome little BN! Welcome!

Thank you
I was told on another forum i use that he looks stressed, but when i asked why, i got no reply.
Could some one tell me if he is stressed and why?

Cheers

Welcome to PC!

Could some one tell me if he is stressed and why?

This is not unusual, it is small and in a new environment it will take a little time to settle in, as long as no other fish are bothering it.

i agree with birger.
give it some time and feed him well and in no time he will become a beautiful bn.

Thanks birger and brummie.

And thanks for the welcomes

Just to clarify, the colours in the photo are "stress colours". That means that the fish is "scared" or "defensive". But it's not necessarily meaning that the fish is stressed in general - just that it was at the very moment the photo was taken. These fish can change colour quite rapidly. And they are easy to keep and settles in quite quickly, in my experience.
