Putting my money where my mouth is

We understand where you coming from, but still depends on the species of poly you have in the tank. Yes most polys like golddust, retro, moke and some LJ will hide once they sense a human present near the tank, but if you have senegal, polli, delhezi, ornate or some LJ polys that are not shy at all it wont matter if your tank have alot of vegetation of decors cause this polys like to swim around and some LJ like to be in front of the tank aswell. I have a tank that only have a few rock and just sand but i rarely see my golddust, its either underneat the poly pile or behind the rocks where all the others are swimming from top to bottom and side to side of the tank.

I do wonder if mine would behave differently if it wasn't for the cichlids that are in there with them, my sen used to super outgoing. Now that there's decor all it does is hide.

I see Electric Eels and Ctenopoma in the catch basins with the Polys.

Oops meant Eletric Catfish lol.

Maybe its scared of the cichlids, polys cant defend themselves from cichlids.

Thanks to all you worm guys for the links and guidance, much appreciated.
Think I will be looking at a Nigeria biotope with sens and lots of nymphia lotus lily.

Would love to see it! Please post in the poly section when you have it set up.
