Take out the hiding spots unless other tank mates need them. Mine are always swimming. As they get bigger they will free swim more also.Nice. It's been over a month, I can't get my pair of 12" to stop hiding. Any advice?
Yup. IF I had that stuff in with my eels I'd never expect to see them. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Flagtail develops a taste for eel slime coat, I know they love rays' slime coat. I'd think Cichlids to be too aggressive, and from an eels point of view a herd of Loaches that size probably seems similar to the movie Night of the Lepus.I wonder if my 21 clown loaches, various 5" cichlids, and 12" Flagtail are TOO busy for the eels and cause them to stay in hiding. The loaches and my scarlet plec need the hiding places so I can't take out the driftwood. Thx
