I am thinking about getting some RBP;S for my 55gal,but the whole problem is my tank is in the busiest room of the house,my living room.I know that Rbp's are real skittish so how can i get them to chill out?? 
Getting RBP'S to chill
- Thread starter Dovii dude
- Start date
Plants, lot's of them! I also had a suction-cup cave/cove on a glass-wall opposite the viewing side, so the less aggressive rbp could get R&R there w/o having to watch it's tail!
Well my tank is set up for my old cichlids,i only have Rocks and caves in there right now.Should this be ok??
that should be fine if you buy more plants and space them a few inches apart so they can hide in them. putting them in the living room is the best idea to get them used to people but like i said 55gal isn't big enough for 3 rb's
Actually its the best thing for them.. If you see some care sites on them like p-fury most keepers (like myself) suggest it.. After a while they will get used to having humans all around it'll take a while depending on size and the number in shoal.. If you do decide to have 3 it will take less time the more in a shoal the beter granted the tank allows...remember with RBP 20 gal per fish.. But after a while they will act as if there is noone around them..
