[Lisa Dankenbring]

My son and I are proud new 1st time Rose Hair owners. Since we don't know if we have a male/female we named ours Izzy I can't wait to speak with more of you about these beautiful creatures, we're both so excited to have this new addition to our family
Have a great day everyone!!!

Thanks question, we bought Izzy in the aquarium that he/she was living in at the pet store because I wanted to make sure that Izzy didn't get too stressed in transition...does it still take time for them to become used to their environment even when they're still in the same tank?? With all the research I've been doing I know they can when it's a different tank but didn't know if the move to a different outside environment also did this. Any suggestions would be great and we haven't handled Izzy since we brought him/her home because we didn't want to add additional stressors until Izzy was comfortable

She'll do fine!

So should we wait a bit before handling Izzy?? There are so many conflicting reports out there on what to do and not do..thanks

Let her settle in for a week or so. I'm not big into handling my T's but, I know they all have their own personalities which can also change. It's more likely that she'll flick hair then bite.
