Hello!
When I first got my tiger barbs they were very active fish, always swimming around. But since roughly 7 months ago they started hiding all the time. I did get a new light but it is not really any brighter than the previous one that I had. The tank is well planted and they are a school of 7 ( in a 20g long). They hide in my very overgrown water wisteria exclusively. Any ideas of why it is like this? We always had tiger barbs in my family’s fish tank when I was a kid. From what I remember they were not ones to hide, always swimming all over the place.
