Fish Island
well i had a datnoid for about a month now and i have been complaining about how it keeps hiding. so today i boutght 3 more widebars and added it to the tank. and that lil sh*t is still hiding but the 3 new ones are all swimming around. anyone have even a clue wassup with it? is it sick?
 
i know how you feel i got a tsn that does nothing but chill in a cave all day
 
I imagine he feels threatend. Dats can take a while to warm up to their new tanks. Give him time, but just watch out for the others harrasing him.
 
I had one like that when i had dats back in the day. I had 5 in the tank altogether, and one hid in this large rock. When he finally croaked, I didnt know it for a couple days. :cry: I noticed when he didnt come out for feedings. I think the fish is just really skittish. Or maybe hes paranoid :screwy:
 
anyone know about what size do they start coming out of hiding spots and actually swim around
 
Mine actually hides but, I hand feed mine he waits for me once it gets dark at the corner of the tank for food ands hes about 3-4 inches now
