Is everyones Weeksi shy?

[Bennlfer]

Mine is shy and doesn't eat too much... Probably had him for a month and a half or so.

I don't know I have not picked mine up yet tehe...What are your Tankmates WaterParam/WC regimen and filtration?

 

[Burbotman]

I am sure there are a lot of variations. Mine, very aggressive and active during the primary growth phase (9" to 16" in 6 months). Since the growth slow down she is less active and more prone to hanging at the back of the tank.

Good luck with yours.

try silversides

Filtration is a Emperor 400 Penguin 200 and a Jebo 839 canister (rated for 100 galons). WC regiment = ~40% once a week. Tankmates can be seen in my sig.

Water params are always straight: 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite ~20 nitrate

Thanks for all of your replies.

What size is the tank? Otherwise it looks like nothing chem is the problem....It's probably just a shy Poly, you can try a stakeout to see if he's active at night

 

[Bennlfer]

Its a 135. 6 feet by 18 inches footprint. I think im going to try the stakeout idea.

Any tips for making him not shy? Should i try standing in front of my tank more?

 

[Darth Scohin]

I would actually say less often....Also do you have a background? is it on the back or the sides as well also (even though it's probably a waste) you could try dither fish they'd have to be rather large however to avoid predation from your other polys

Generally speaking I would consider weeksi as shy and not very active fish. My weeksi will come out ot eat during feeding time. If you're bored you can send him my way.

Yeah, mine is not all that active. It eats well, but not very active at all.
