Kelberi dashing around

[keithtang]

Dear all,

I need some help regarding my Kelberi dashing around my tank and hurting themselves.
Kept them from 2" and now between 5-6".
Do you think white back ground will spook the fish, when people pass by? Only have problem with that few piece. My Orino all no problem when I walk near.
Kelberi in white tank, and Orino in black tank.
Any advise? Thanks in advance.

Regards

Tell people to walk slower near your tank

or put helmets on the kelberi

As far as the back ground all my tanks are black back ground but never heard of them being spooked by white backgrounds These are really big fish and they are very fast so it takes them no time to get from one side to the other just seriously walk slower by the tanks i know it is hard especially if you have kids

Just going thru a Skittish stage............

My bass go through this stage after being netted and moved to a different tank. This lasts up to two weeks at most, then they go back to following my hand for food.
