    Hi,

    Give yr luohan sometime to get used to its new home. Put yrself in its shoes, u`d need sometime to get used to yr new home.

    After a few days, u`d see yr beloved luohan exploring the tank like a scout searchin the enemy. On a sidenote, did u acclimatise yr luohan before havin him in yr tank ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Trevor

    I do what i normally do to my other fish. Soak the plastic bag with fish in the tank for 1 - 2 hrs before releasing fish into water

    Well.. What yr're doing is called acclimatising.. Sorry if spelling is wrong.. So im pretty sure if u let yr luohan rest for a few days and get used to the surrounding.. in no time u`d have a happy luohan..
    Thanks & Regards,
    Trevor

    Have you conditioned the tank? Like cycling, correct pH, temp, etc. If there is a light, make sure its not too bright. Might help to keep the light off for a few days.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    I've observed my dad's LH and noticed that some LH will hide after it goes into the tank and comes out a few days later. Some LH will never come out. Some LH will come out once release

    Don't worry about your LH lah. When young, they all tend to be afraid of everything. They'll change later at 5-6" and you'd wish they'll be less aggressive..

    My LH used to hide behind the filter when he was 2"-5". Now at 10", he stares at me and tries to bite my hands when I clean his tank!

    Just be patient and don't give up this LH because it's cowardly. It will soon establish its territory and move around. Could take a few days to a few months depending on fish
