bro prehap you would like to check your water condition and also your ph compare to last water ph u brought from? Also newly brought tiger tend to more stress in their new environment so you had to give them time to settle down. Last Q is do you acclimate your new fish in your aquarium?
Usually i will float the unopen bag of fish in my tank for 45 min then slowly exchange 1/4 of the water in the bag with the water from my aquarium every 15 minutes for an hour then release the fish Hope it help |

My IT are all in a complete bare tank. Let them have time to settle in and they'll start swimming around once they're used to the tank. They are quite emo to my thoughts, they happy they show you gold, not happy they show you black. As long as they are eating well, then should be ok.

juz keep a lookout for any aggression from tankmates, if tankmates are peaceful soon they will eat when they r hungry. mine started eating on the 2nd day. and i had to remove a huge fire eel to make them less stressed as hes the king of the tank,swim everywhere n hog most of the food.haha

Yup bro . I'll consider a driftwood to be placed for them to hide . Maybe , it will fasten them to get used to my tank
