BrissleNose Cat Fish...

[BeYoNd*]

Hiya Folks im only new around here and like to say " HI "

I got a 2 foot x 1 foot sized fresh water aquarium with my betta fish and 2 snails my temperture is sitting around 24-25°c. I got my self today 2 good sized brisslenose cat fish at my lps and all they have been doing for the last few hours the sarvo is hinding behind my filter, i turned my aquarium light off for 1 hour or so and they started to come out slowy but as soon as i turn the light on the dumb fish swims back behind the filter and doesnt move, I have also tryed to feed it but it doesnt pay any attendion.



Any help is much Appreciated.

Thx BeYoNd*

well bristle nose are like half nocternal. for the first 2 -3 weeks u have them they will hide nd eventually get used to ur tank over time.but the less hiding space they got the more of a chance ull see em.

they also become more reclusive as they get older...

Don't forget to introduce yourself in the newbie section. The behavior that you are describing sounds normal for a bristlenose in a new tank. Give him time and he may become more social.
