Semaprochilodus Taeniurus Keeps Hiding

[rixy]

hi,my semaprochilodus taeniurus continually hides behind my bogwood and never comes out.he hides with the 2 x senegal bichirs in their hidey hole.
their tankmates are 8 x congo tetras.why does he hide all the time?
there are lots of plants,bogwood etc to make him feel secure.
thanks in advance.

if it's a new addition or a young specimen it's quite normal for them to hide until they feel confident, i have a group of 5 and 3 tend to stay out whilst 2 continue to hide in the plants.
