Bless i think he got a bit stressed from the transfer. the lobster took it all in his stride :%) it has been about 30 mins and he is stilll in a huff with me i have turned off the lights in the aquarium and put in some stress coat and food will he be ok? is there anything else i can do for him to calm him down? thanks guys

Keep the lights off & be patient. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Both of mine would go real pale and wouldn't eat for atleast 12 hrs after each water change! lol for a tough fish they are definately sooks :#(
