This is the reason I don't keep silvers. I've seen jumpy ass silvers pushing 3 feet. Monster fish my a**. My Jar, Datnoids and even clown loaches follow me where ever I go.

I have never seen a Jar I live in Florida. There is a website I thought about ordering one from but never did. I hate paying more for shipping than the fish cost me. Maybe ill trade over for a jar.

But the silver really does piss me off about how scared he is and Ive never tried to kill/harm him. And I have my tank set up with mesh around half so he can jump out for worms I put on a pully sistem and when I try and show my friends FORGET IT, he just sits on the bottom.
 
Nothing new...thats just a typical silver lol...

Jardini are a restricted species in Florida. Only aro you can have is a silver.
 
mine did the same thing for almost a month and is still skittish every once in a while.
 
Yeah it took my silver aro 2 months to get used to me. Even then it would get scared when I would open the lid to feed him. Then again I only raised him from 2 inches to 4, then donated him to a friend.
 
My tank is full of plants. I give him a good natrual habitat.

Bderic, your positive theres a website I order from and it didnt bring up that they will not ship to florida. I will look at the restricted list on this website.
