When I brought Gummy home, he was a lot shyer than his sister Atlas was. After I floated him in a plastic container to help acclimate him to the temperature of the tank, I let him free to swim about the aquarium, and he immediately swam off to hide in a flower pot. After some time he emerged, curiously investigating one of the plants in his tank. Over the next few days he made more appearances, and began to get used to his new surroundings. For some time, he retained a great interest in that particular plant.
