fullychichlid Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi Guys I put my Green Terror in my new 5ft tank about 10 days ago. I had put in some rocks and all he does is sit behind them all day and never comes out. Ph and amonia is fine. I put in a school of 10 dither feeder fish and he did have a look and then went back to normal behind the rock. there are now only 7 feeders and so he may have eaten them or the filter did ol. He has taken a few pellets at the start and now is not interested at all. Today I took the rocks out and he swam around fine started sifting through the gravel and ate pellets off the bottom. He is in no rush to take food and usually gets it later. He is healthy so i there is no virus r parasite ( his poo is normal). Do I find him a female GT for company, he is about 20cm big. or do i leave the tank bare for a while so he gets use to the tank and his territory. Any ideas would be appreaciated.

Link2Hell Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 stubborn little buggers at times get into a routine and only feed small amounts he will come around you could also try a mirror against the tank to fire him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Most Americans, even the big fully grown mean are sooks. He/she will get over it soon. Be glad thats its quiet and not dominating and terorising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
