Blood Parrot Fish Freaking Out? I recently purchased two adorable blood parrots 2 days ago. My tank is heavily planted in some areas with adequate swimming space in another area of the tank. I ensured that my parrot fish would have enough hiding space and privacy. They were fine for about two hours, but when I returned to my room they just absolutely went nuts. Only when I approached the tank did they get upset. REALLY upset. I'm so worried they'll damage their fins, or hurt themselves seriously from frantically ramming themselved into the walls of the tank or into the driftwood etc. etc. I've kept fish for 10 years, and none behaved like this when I brought them home. My two new parrot fish are so nervous and just....terrified of me. I don't see how this could be since they come from a pet store where kids bang on the glass and hundreds of people approached their tank every day. Is it normal for these fish to be so fearful? What can I do to prevent them from harming themselves? It's so upsetting! |
