Feeding Question

[katiekelsey]

My cichlids (blood parrots, silver dollars and firemouths) used to come right to me at feeding time. The last few weeks they see me coming and they are dart away and hide? This happen to anyone else?

Never experienced that. Is there someone in your house that could be tormenting them?

 

[katiekelsey]

No one else goes near the tank.

 

[PassengerTN]

Not real sure then. Is the tank in a high traffic area?

When I had fire mouths they started doing this after about 2 months. I eventually rehomed them. Have no idea why they started being this way. Nothing changed.

Now I HAVE seen fish hide or lay back at feeding time due to aggression from the dominant fish. But not the whole tank

 

[katiekelsey]

All of the fish dart away and hide at feeding time. It's only me and my dog in the house so I know no one is bothering them.
