Hi guys my baby flowerhorn is so scared and got settled in the corner of the tank below the filter...he is coming out when i switch off the lights. Am practicing him to come out for food when the lights are switched on.My effort not failed he is coming out and taking food but immediately gets settled in the corner till the lights are switched off..I know this is common in some fish but this is my first experience of flowerhorn getting shy I owned a few of same size 2 inches but does not acted strange like this...Suggestion's are welcome!!!!

Ya Ace ...am trying the same but he is getting scared even some movement near the tank. But one good thing he is taking food ....
 
Yea, mine was like that as well when I first put him in my tank. What I did was instead of using my aquarium light, I use my hallway light instead and let him get used to it first. Then I slowly switch between hallway light and aquarium light. Now he's full blast on aquarium light. Worked for me this way only took about 2-3 weeks or so.

Totally normal. Like Ishnshaik said, give him time. Try not to stress him too much and just spend a little time with him each day. He will be crazy before you know it. Lol.
