Bangaii Cardinal sick?

Hello,

I purchased a Bangaii Cardinal about 2 weeks ago and he has been hovering in the back bottom corner of my tank since then. He eats fine, but other than that doesn't really come out of his corner (behind the rocks).

Is he still stressed from the move??? Are these fish usually this shy. I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with him.

Thanks a lot!

Bangaii are nocturnal and often just hover in a comfortable spot in the aquarium during lighting periods.
As long as he is eating well and appears healthy and is not being bullied by other tankmates, he should be fine.
