I recently had to remove an Elongatus from my aquarium. Now all my Cichlids hide from me. I can understand them hiding from a net being placed in the water. But now they hide when they see me getting close to the tank or any movement from me. They weren't scared of me before I had to put a net in the water.

They are also a bit skittish when they come up for food.

I guess they are associating me with the net.

Will they warm up to me again

Any suggestions??

Thanks,

David

Cichlids are really shy fish... they love to hide and not be seen.. my convict only peeks at me when it's feeding time he then runs grabs his food and returns to his cave.... so it almost always looks like the tank is empty.. lol

try feeding them something live or frozen if you normally feed pellets.
