My red devil (Bruce) is somewhat shy. I am wondering if it’s because he sees himself reflected in black background. Since the (reflection) fish never goes away, perhaps he sees it as a threat, and is always wary. Do you think I should change that background?
Bruce hides more than I would like. I had one, many years ago, that was relentless, constantly at the side of the tank trying to get my attention. Bruce will attemp to chase me off when I first come near the tank but then retreats to the hole he has dug. Kinda boring. I bought him because I thought he would be highly energetic and entertaining.
-He is 10 years old
-I have had him almost 4 weeks
-hood health
-good colour
-digs big holes
-eats well (although not as aggressive as expected)
His environment:
-120 gallon tank. (5’ long with black background)
-Excellent water conditions
-Near front door...moderate traffic
-6 giant danios
-1 red tailed shark
-1 small bushy nose pleco
