This is going to be a silly question, but it’s something I don’t have a lot of experience with.
I love flamehawk fish. In my previous tank, the one I had had so much personality he was amazing to watch.
However, on my current tank, my flamehawk appears to be very shy. He spent about a month or so in my display tank and the last 6 weeks in a nano tank. The entire time I’ve had him, in either tank, he’s basically stayed hidden in the rocks. I pretty much never see him except to eat and even then he jumps out and jumps right back in the rocks.
I’m trying to figure out what to do with him. I don’t really want to put him in my display if he’s just going to hide in rocks. I’d rather get some shrimp. I could just leave him in the nano he’s in. It’s not really hurting anything there, but I was going to take down the nano once my main was back up and running (which it now is). Or I could take him back to my LFS.
What are opinions? If I put him back in my DT do you think he’ll grow out of his shyness? If not, I’ll have to choose between nano and LFS, I guess.
