I've got a male pearl as the centerpiece fish in my 30g high planted tank. Tankmates are 3 fancy guppies (male), 3 neons (started with more, probably my first and last time with neons...), 6 peppered corys and a zillion cherry shrimp and ramshorn snails.
Nothing has changed in this tank since the pearl was added.
When I first got him, he was very active, swam around the whole tank, was pretty much ruler of the roost. This lasted for a couple of months. In the past 2 weeks, he has been Mr. Invisible, constantly hiding in the plants, stuffs himself back in the corner behind the heater, etc. Never see him at all.
I'm wondering if this is normal, just a phase, or if there is something I can do to address the issue.
