I have no idea what's going on with my two small pbass. I have them in a grow out tank at the moment but for the past month that i have them. They are extremely skittish and unpredictable. One moment they would come up to the glass to me and then the next few days they would just hide behind the heater. Anyway i can get them to be more active when im around?
Overly skittish Pbass

Give them a little time, to get use to there new surroundings, and make sure you feed them in the same spot of the tank, every time you feed them, in order to gain trust...............Good luck and shoot out some pic's.
yeah that's what i thought to but a month seems long doesn't it? When i first got them, the smaller one of the two would eat infront of me but now it would not.
pbass are extreamly sensitive to ammonia, and they act very stressed out when ammonia spikes. Maybe check your water
thanks guys i will check my ammonia level. also would adding a goldfish or two be a good idea to get them to be more comfortable?
mine were the same but ever since i added a few swordtails of the same size, they became a lot more tranquil and now actually come up to the glass when i feed them
Mine also were fairly bad. All I did was add 1 display piece of wood and gave them time. They are now much better.
I didn't want dithers... I personally don't like them for the most part.. I just want to keep the fish I want. So I decided to avoid that option.

mine's got alot better, they come up to the glass now after i added a goldfish of a bit larger size. I also noticed the packing order has also change a bit. The smaller of my two is more dominant during the day time but during late night, the bigger one is more dominant.
