So i have been doing some moving around since i have added my new 75g. I got and set up the tank Sat/Sun added the fish Mon. I bought the tank off a friend as the tank was set up already and i help take it down. Right now in my 75g is 2 JD, 1 pictus cat, 1 Texas, 1 GT (added yesterday), and 1 leporinus fasciatus (added today). All the fish are about 3" except the cat a lil bigger but not much. The JDs and Pictus were together in a 30 and seem to have become very fond of each other. The Texas was in my 55 community no problems with him. And so far no problems with the leporinus. They swim around fine. The JDs and cat seem very scared of me. They go everywhere in the tank together which is fine with me but they hide when i come to the tank. And now since the GT has been added he has joined there group. HIDING under the bubble bar. Or peeking out or under the drift wood in the tank. They do eat, but they wait until i leave the area.So i have four fish that just hide when i want to see them. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM????? Even if im across the room and make a move to look at them they stop what ever they are doing. Any suggestions would be nice on how to approach this situation thanks in advance!!!!

Also thought about moving my Red tail Tinfoil Barbs over to the 75 to get them feeling more comfortable. Is this a bad idea cause i do i like the Red tails in the 55 community... just a thought..
 
I don't see any problem... But I do see some fish that are a little nervous when you come around. You gotta look at a fish point of view. FISH1: here comes that guy crap run .. Fish2: I am running or he's gonna get me an take me out. Fish3: I was happy in my 30 gallon. Give them some time to adapt to their new surroundings. They will get cumfy in a week or two, maybe three. Most fish need time when you move them around. :)

My JD eats right out of my hand, but it took time and trust.
 
Just wanted to inform that my fish have come around tremendously. Food as well as me just sitting in front of the tank has helped. They do come check me out from behind the driftwood,peeking around the corner. But they do come to visit often.
