Hi so I bought this breeding pair of synspilum from my local aquarium they had just got them in (the photo is of them in the shop)
They have now been in my aquarium for about a week. The male spends most of his time behind a rock and the female is out and about more. The female Is feeding however the male hardly ever comes out and doesn't at feeding time so I'm worried he isn't eating. They both also are extremely colourful at the moment which im guessing is due to stress. Hopefully they will colour up soon. They currently share the tank with 3 australian salmontail catfish, and a school of silver dollars. How long does it generally take them to colour up in a new tank and for them to feel comfortable coming out?
