Now i know they say they are veryy shy, and take a while to come out, but ive had my bp for a few weeks now and they still dont come out, not even during feeding time. The only time we get a glimpse of them is when i get home from work, turn on the lights and they run back into theyr hole :\ (i have 4 btw)
Im tempted to take away all thyeyr hiding spots and just get them used to me once and for all. I read about a girl whos had her bp fish for 2 yrs and up till now they never come out. Any advice? im concerned about them eating :/

P.S. im new to MFK so i hope i came to the right place for help! Thank you everyone :D
 
Welcome to MFK! Whats the temperature of the tank like? Water parameters? BP's do take weeks even months to become comfortable in their new homes. Just be patient, I wouldn't recommend removing their hiding spots either.
 
Thank you ^^ -temp is at 79 theyr mates with my arowana. only 1 comes out and isint shy, just hard to be patient xD i dont even know if theyr eating, and that worries me
