my paima's still look shame..
they just swim in the corner of aqua..
it's just a temporary effect because they're new aren't?

what do you mean? :confused: if their staying on the corner all the time since you bought them...maybe someone in the tank is beign a bully and putting it in its place...and it could be just too shy and have not yet gotten used to the tank...and the other inhabitants

i'd think that one of those 1100g pools would suffice for quite a while(iirc, aren't they 16' diameter)

Actually they're 10 feet in diameter and 30 inches high.:)

What are your water parameters, tank size, etc.? Do several water changes and hope for the best... I hope you didn't impulse buy. As you probably know now, you'll need a 10,000 gallon tank AT LEAST!

BTW, you really should start a new thread instead of highjacking this one...

you can add some driftwood, some more cover....and if thats not the problem....check your water parameters...it might be some ammonia or some nitrite and nitrate problem or something with the tank water...check your ph as well...

and it good bro...we make mistakes and its ok...and yea...we all want the very best for our fishes....;)
