help needed for skittish/shy FH

[suresh2989]

hi guys
my faded FH which i have for the past 2 months is very skittish...i might have contributed to this because i had him/her with another hyper aggressive fh for one month with a divider.i thought it only natural to less aggressive FH to be subdued in the presence of another FH...so i seperated them but still the fader FH seems to be very skittish...he just seem interested to him morning feeding...rest of the time he is even scared by movement of hands near him....
* How to overcome this fear?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried using a mirror so he can get used to seeing his own movement and another fish that doesn't do anything? Is the tank in a high traffic area or low traffic?

Hard to tell male or female from those pics....you will have to wait till its a lil bigger and vent the FH...for now just try to baby(spoil) her as much as you can
