Hidding Pictus

[soggysandwich]

I got 3 new pictus for my 75 about a month ago and all they do it hid in the corner. i used to have one and it swam around the botton. now these ones just hid in the plants, even at night. how do i get them to come out or is it just going to say like this?

THanks

They will come out. I used to have 2 pictus, i had to rehome them to my brothers tank. he had 1 pictus already. they all hid for a few weeks but they have since established the heirarchy. the pictus all get along and swim together, and dont bother or get bothered by any other fish. give it time and keep focus more on their health instead of their social behavior. they will warm up to their new home soon!
