How shy is yours?

mine only hide when im home.. when i come home for work i can see them through the window.. it looks like the most active tank on the planet.. 10 minutes after i walk in the door everyone is hiding till it gets dark out (feeding time)..
i like saturdays.. it catches them off gaurd and they forget im around so i get to watch them...

stupid fish

Just get 10 more dats around the same size and you can be sure to have 1 or two swimming around the tank, hopefully more.

Sound advice....
Be patient, as they get used to human traffic in the room.

What I have noticed over the last 2 years : my tigers are most stable and active usually after 10-11 pm at night. This works out well, as I stroll in after a few beverages. The fish display like crazy.
Somehow they mysteriously become active after this time!!! They prefer it when the room lights are off and tank light on. And of course , no direct sunlight. Although there is some non-direct sunlight which brightens the room. My tigers seem to realise when it gets darker outside the tank, I think this is why they display the most after10m and onwards.

Very much the opposite of a few years ago, when tank lights would spook my tigers, and they were more active when tank light off with room light on.

I have not usd decor/hidin spaces, for about 15 months now.

That's very true! my tank becomes super active when the room is dark with tank lights on.. I have no idea why..

Here's a tip. If you really want yourtigers to be swimming around, starve them. They tend to swim around and look for food when hungry I guess.


Oh yeah, did I tell you guys my fshes eats off from my hands!! I'm so happy!!
