Also just ordered mandarin shrimp from mama!
Poor gourami. oh well. Maybe AN apisto? They're redish lol.
severum mama said:Apisto will eat Carey's new shrimp. If not now, then eventually.
they look good,the ones that arent normal neons are gold neons,right?Here's some pics, they havent seemed to settle in too much yet. Thye are very active with the lights off but when I turn them on they get skittish.
IMO,you just need to wait for a few more days,some fish take longer to get used to changes than othersYep, gold neons. They look so awesome in person too.
I'm just worried that they are taking a long time to get used to the new tank. i had to shut the lights down early today cause they were all huddling in the corner. Now, they are swimming and schooling all over the tank.
Any ideas or should I give it a few more days?
Thanks so much!
i say let them get used to itWell this morning when I got up the happy fish were all swimming around and having fun. As soon as the light went on they all hightailed it into a corner to just sit there.
I've been turning off the lights early trying to get them used to it but it doesnt seem to be working.
I've been into fish since like 1993 but it's always been cichlids and they are such a different animal. lol
I don't wanna stress these tiny fish but what should I do? Just let the light stay on and hope they get used to it? I haven't had any losses at all in this tank, even with the neons which people say are delicate and I'd like to keep it that way.
Any suggestions on why they are so afraid of the light? Or anything I can do to acclimate them to it?
Thanks guys! Don't know what I would do without this forum.
