Ever since we put him in (yesterday) his belly has been nice and white
but he swims vigorously in the corners like ... 75% of the day.
Any ideas of what's up with that ???

Not enough decor, or he's just getting used to it.
Any pics? I'd love to see them!!

Re: Chomper from a 20g to a 75g !
no pics yet... but of course I'll post when I do !
actually at a loss for a camera right now
there's more decor than there was before.... a few more ornament caves, and a cave made from large rocks.... and more plant life. But there's still PLENTY of space for more...
I think you're right.... probably just getting used to it - but he looks SO good !
not one spec of black/grey on his bely since we put him in

You want to keep the tank pretty full with decor. It will help him feel safe. But they will usually do the pacing routine when they are in new surroundings.
