Stable?

[Bichir4Life]

So i picked up two thinbars the other day one of them is very stable colours are vibrant and the other is dull and almost looks like a snake loosing skin. Just wondering if it's a time thing and what i could do to help him along. Water perameters are fine temp is between 74-76 theres a bunch of driftwood some rocks to hide behind and a glass bottom. They haven't been eating but thats just because there new i guess.

I am concerned by your description of like a snake losing its skin if you mean that it is just dull then that is fine...

just give it sometime since they are new they just need to adjust.

U should raise ur temp a little bit, to about 80-82.
Unless u have other tankmates that require a cooler temp?

Um not to bright i have paper infront of my lights for my polys but i recently took some away due to my plants dieing. I find there just skittish when i come downstairs, Sitting here on the computer i can watch them explore but if i get to close they go into hiding.

You think if a picked up a third or fourth dat they would be a little more comfortable? i know only have two is kind of a no no
