Shy Pictus

My Pictus is still very young but when ever I walk in the room he swims of to the backof the tank behind some driftwood. He is about 2 inches and in a 15 gallon.

Some are pretty shy, yes. I don't remember if they are more active and out and about when young and have more than one in the tank. I think I read that they prefer to be alone as an adult. Someone please cortrect if wrong. I have a 5" nocturnal albino Pic. Even when he comes out of his cave or logs at night after the light is dimmed or off, he scoots quickly when I walk in. It's a bummer because he's beautiful.
