BikBok Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I like to mirror my fighter to keep him active, and the finnage strong. But my guy is such a wuss.. he flares and everything but within seconds of seeing the mirror and flaring, the colour will drain way from his body leaving him all pale. what a wuss. Is the mirror too stressful for him? I do it every second - third day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlums Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 How old is he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Try letting him flare at a small female to build his confidence up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 he's about 6-8 months I think. Sadly I don't have the female anymore. She passed on a few months ago and I want a green one to replace her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'd lay off on the flaring for at least a week to let him 'reclaim his territory" When you let him flare again make sure to take the mirror away from him before he gives up, even if he can only handle a second before turning into a wuss. This way he thinks he managed to scare the intruder away and win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
