I Couldn't Keep Mine in Hiding he hid in a tight place and i've heard of them staying in hiding for a year without leaving. And in quite a few instances they Got stuck and Dyed

I Took out his hiding and made him a somewhat Hidden Place But he and my pelco are Best friends they will follow each other and just touch each other and swim fast at each other then slow down and just sit in the same areas.
