I will update soon but the trolls make it difficult. The divider seems to be working but the parrot is still hiding even though she can come out.

You need to take the thing out that she is hiding in so that she knows there is nothing to fear any longer.

A typical troll tactic is to paraphrase people out of context and then to make a mockery or argument out of it. I tried to describe a bullying behavior that wasnt overly physical, and the parrot seemed accepting of it. She is not showing any injuries or physical signs of stress. She has been coming out of her log but she hasnt gone over to the males side.

If you ask clarifying questions instead of trolling with incomplete information you might learn something and contribute positively for a change.

No. That is a terrible idea. if she has no where to hide she will be incredibly stressed.

What will she stress out from? The Divider?!

The large fish isn't on her side, and she will soon realize that.

But, I must be wrong, and that's why every fish I have done this with is healthy, and doing perfectly fine.

Facepalm.

Imagine living in a field. No cover, no shelter. Food is dropped in every day and the sky is lowered once a week. Now imagine you are to stupid to understand what is going on. Now... tell me you wouldn't be stressed.
