I agree. You have done your homework, obviously (yea!) and it may just need
some time to settle in. A second change in environment now may seal its
doom. You may try feeding it and see if it will take some food. Sounds like
these species eat shimp, maybe give that a try.
Good luck, I hope he makes it for you!
