Thanks to all of you who responded! Here are some photos of my tank. It's a mountain scape so I'm trying to get a carpet going all around it and have lots of negative space. You can see my problem, the fish have nowhere to hide, and I'm trying to keep the scape to a minimum. That said, I just put in some of the stem plants in the back of the mountain and that seemed to help a bit. The fish were coming out to the front of the tank a little last night. It's funny, everything seems to help a little - a slow ramp up, adding more rasboras, lowering the flow, floating plants, stem plants, adding corydoras as dither fish - but eventually the fish go back to their hiding. Usually they get spooked when I walk by or put my hand in the tank to clean, for example, and then won't come out for hours. Before I rescape the back of the tank and fill it with dense stem plants and completely throw off all my hard work building a wrap around mountain, I'm going to try a few guppies as dither fish. Would 3 be enough or do I need more? (Apologies: for some reason I can't rotate the photos)
