I got 6 Dwarf Blue Rainbows 2 days ago and they're being quite slow to settle in.
They hid as soon as they went into the tank and gave hardly broken cover since. When they do, they scurry away at the least movement outside he tank.
As a result they're pretty much missing out on food as it gets eaten before they get to it.
They're the largest fish in the tank, so I wouldn't expect them to bs scared of their tank mates & I've seen no signs of aggression.
On the few occasions I have seen them, one or more may be swimming slightly on it's side, which I'm pretty sure would bs a bad sign, but until they start showing themselves a little more I can't be sure if that.
Any thoughts / suggestions?
