i wonder why mine have been so skittish then... they have from day 1 really. adding the colombian tetras helped a bit but they wont come out if im stood in front of the tank i have to be sat on the floor to get a pic!Mine are not skittash at all actually but really always at the front looking at what is happening outside. I try to take pictures when they just go about doing their stuff but as soon as I get closer with the camera they move towards me begging for food I assume!
Otherwise I agree mine are also eating just about anything some other guys in Sweden have some issues with getting them to eat, not sure why.
as soon as anyone goes near the tank they shoot off to the back and slowly creep out into view again when im out of the way. i would have thought after a year they wouldnt see me as a threat.... maybe im just a scary person
feeding wise they were hard to get onto dry foods to begin with as wild caught juvis as was to be expected but they will eat everything offered now.
