I got some rio Araguia and Bahia at 8-9" but they still seem very skittish for being a large fish. They dont seem to be stress by other fish. Are kelberis known to be skittish? Is there anything I can do to make them less skittish?
 
I have azuls and kelberies of similar size (~ 4") and I think Kelberies are way more skittish than azuls, and probably they scare the hell out of azuls too because of their skittish behavior. Hopefully they'll be better when they become bigger.
Plus the azuls will eat anything I put in, silversides, massivore pellets etc. but the kelberies keep on insisting prawns. They all are in a 65g tank, may be things will improve when they go in to 220g next month.
 
Mine are indeed skittish. That's the reason I think they are being targeted by the orinos in my tank cause they move around so fast at any sudden movement.

How long have they been in the tank and what size is the tank?

i had them in the tank together for six to seven months. Tank size is 265 72x27.5x31
It seems like the RA will only eat when they see the two Bahia eat.
 
Yes, out of all the bass kels are the most skittish imo. My bahias aren't skittish at all but my ipatinga, has it's moments and my Ra's are the worst.
 
My Bahia isn't skittish either, my Azul is occasionally and my Orino will chase him. Recently, since adding the true parrots, my Orino has chilled out.
