Why are my two new blood parrots so skiddish?

[maxsimm]

I got two new blood parrots about 3 days ago and put them in a cycled and appropriately suited 40 breeder. At the store they would follow my finger and seemed so excited and full of personality. Since i got them they are out and about in the tank until i get near and they hide until i leave again. They will eat but only if i drop food in then leave, any advice?

I'd give it some time. Getting scooped up, bagged, and placed in a new environment can shake a fish up pretty good. A few days in they may still be getting accustomed to their new home. I think staying the course for a bit longer and they should start behaving more like you saw at the store. 

If you see something like signs of disease or they stop eating that may be a cause of concern. I've had new fish take over a week to come out and settle in.

I agree with @MACIt can take a while for fish to get acclimated to its new environment.  After a few more days they should start to be less skiddish.

As long as they’re eating, you’re probably good.  If they stop eating, you may have other problems.  Make sure they have hiding spots, it can actually make them more comfortable and come out more.

The more hiding spots the better and time.
