It's a well known fact that discus are shy by nature but is there anything I can do to make him more out going?
He was added to my tank Friday and to my surprise he seemed to adjust to it well, swimming up to the front of the tank some and not hiding too much. He would eventually go behing some plants if I stared too long but I figured it's the first few days and over all he doesn't seem to be too freaked out. All things considered I think it was a very successful aclimation.
So anyway, I accidently startled him this morning when I dropped the lid in the tank while he was eating, he swam behind some plants and didn't seem to wanna come out. I left my house and I'm hoping I can give him some time to calm down but does anybody have any tips on how I can get him less shy?
