Why have all my fish gone hiding?

[rust9000]

Ok ever scince i moved my arowana into my 115g all my fish have gone hiding, why has this happened?? I have:
4 parrot fish,
1 JD,
3 clown loaches,
4 baby jade eyes
and a couple of cory cats.
Do i need some dither fish, like tiger barbs or somthing?
thanks in advance.

How big is the aro comparitively? They could be scared of the aros size or the constant movement.

no they were all out and about when my arow was WITH them and now he has MOVED to my 115g they have all gone hidding.

maybe they have space to hide where they did not before

My fish tend to go through fazes of hidin

............ not all at once tho!

my arow was always out and about and i have not changed the decor around, do you think they are not as confident now there is no fish swimming about?

I would try some tiger barbs. It wont hurt anything.

I think your arowana acted like a "jumbo-sized dither" for them. And I think you're right about it. Try some large dithers, like big balas, pacus, Fei Feng or the such, and the others should become confident again. My 0.02
