how can pbass not be afraid anymore?

everytime i enter my room and feed my fish my pbass are always afraid, they go to the corner wait till i drop food then got for it, i want them once they see me walk up come up to the tank like hungry monsters and just go crazy

how big are they? how long did you have them?
i got mine when they were 1.5''.....took them 3 months for them to come up to eat.

i got my first 2 in june and pick up 2 more a month ago they range from 4 to 6 inches

give them awhile...they will warm up to you. that's my 2 cent.

what is in the tank with them? they adjust quicker and come to the front of the tank sooner if they have other fish and hiding places in the tank.

well the fish in my signature are with them, the other fish are not afraid, my gars are alwasy hungy so there waiting all the time, but my pbass just scram

oh yea i dont really have hiding spots for them, just have a piece of driftwood in the middle of the tank

wait til they're big enough to feel "big" lol. when they do, they wont be afraid of anything and you will wish they were calm like they used to be. mine jump out diving around during feeding. my friends does the same. ours are over 14 inches tho

just have to give them time.
most of my pbass took around a mth or so.
although ive had some take over 4 mths to get used to me...

yup time...you got a good amount of fish in there...they will learn to swim around too...for me i had to get dithers (silverdollars) since i had only pbass in there
