Default How to de-stress my 4'' PR

Dear all,

I have noticed that my baby PR is currently under a lot of stress whenever someone go near the tank. My aro will start to dash around the tank and notice that his 3 fins are all clamp during swimming. Also, my aro's appetite is not too good, ie. eating only 3-4 SW 2 times a day.

Is there anything I can do to calm my aro down, ie. add black water or cover the tank with newspaper for a while??

Appreciate all the tai kor's advise on this.

Thanks
Newbie

Just let the red aclimatise by itself...when appetite is back, add some tankmates to boost its confidence

Brother,

Its SW. When I bought this little baby, he was eating about 5-6 SW the next day. I guess my son is the culprit, always go near the fish and scare it.

maybe dun let ur son to go near the tank for a few months. once the aro adopts to the tank. i think will be better.
now my baby nephew bangs on the galss of the tank. so i m also worried. but like i mentioned my red still eats well. so not very concern
