DavidR Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I picked up some rainbows about 3 weeks ago. These fish are still a bit skittish and never eat while I'm around. Has anybody else had fish like this? Could there be something that I'm doing to spook them? I've never had rainbows act like this. They hide every time I approach the tank. Tank is heavily planted with plenty of cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atitagain Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Is there a light coming from behind or above you as you approach? Shadows are very threatening to fish, the first thing I would check. They could just be shy tho, keep feeding them eventually they will learn you = food 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I’d start making sure there’s no shadows, reflection, loud tv/ stereo, or sudden/ fast movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
