Will trilineatus make the rest shy?

Post by Caol_ila »

Hi!

I recently bought a single C.leopardus and to not leave him like this i bought 2 C. "julii" now they sit in a quarantine tank and the bigger one is extremely shy not coming out when i watch the tank...now this makes me wonder if these 2 are added to the rest (elegans/napoensis/vittatus/leopardus) if the whole bunch will be easily frightened? The older fish are very active and almost never flee except from stuff dropping to the ground at my place...
cheers

I wouldn't really think so the group would probably have a possitive affect on him (make him less shy)!!! :wink:
