newfisher Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I brought my new Angels home to day and carefully floated the bag and added water etc. Now they are hiding at the back of the tank in a corner. there is nothing bigger than them in the tank and plenty of plants. I have turned out the lights thinking this might help but they don't want to move. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Give them a few days to settle in and they should be fine. Maybe keep the lights dimmed for a few days too, I found this helped when I first got my new Discus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Dear new human, someone plucked us from our home we were used to has put us in a bag, shaken us around for a while then popped us in a totally new and strange environment we thought we might sit in the background for a little while so as to make sure that big net isn't coming back and maybe move us again signed the new angels P.S. we might venture out in the morning if your lucky.

phoenix44 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 that's fine sometimes they do that with their fins clamped down. but they should be out and about exploring tomorrow or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 thanks I'll stop worrying and watching to see what they are doing. Yep I thought it might be the horror of the net, trip and strange looking people staring at us in raptures. They are stunning koi/ghost and black :oops: .

My barbs and tetras will more often than not swim AWAY from me when I go near the tank UNLESS it's feeding time. My cory's well there just scardy cats because they usually take off when they see me, even at feeding time. Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
