Only red X's seen on this end of the internet.

 

It is normal for it to crap that stuff out of it's mouth. Basically it is exchanging biologicals and adjusting to your tank.

 

You know..........What does the first thing a dog do when it goes into a new yard?

mine did that when I got it home. The brown stuff was probably it dumping because it got scared, heh. Where did you put it in the tank (pictures not working) ?

 

It should be fine in a few days. The brains don't like to be touched so try not to move it.
