I have had a female Festae for about a year now, and I can't for the life of me figure out why she hides whenever she sees me. She is about 6in so there is no possibility of adding any dithers. She is also in a 80 gallon tank. Anyone have any suggestions? I have some juvi Aequidens Rivulutus in the tank next to her and they act similarly.

J/K Bro!!! Some fish are just shy. Maybe she'll come around eventually.
my girl (5.5"-6") is a big wuss she will hide when I first come up to the tank but comes out pretty quick. I have her in 44 with some severums and some other misc stuff and shes the boss. If I put her back in my 150 she turns into a big pansy and have to take her out before she gets killed
I use to have a festae like yours. I took out all the hiding places in the tank. Until she got use to seeing me infront of the tank. It took some time but the fish came around and was more comfortable with my presence.
haha that's a really old photo... I don't look like that much anymorebalton777;3028943; said:View attachment 353226 <<<---------hmmmm...Do you look at her like that?
