Lights for leopard bush fish

[mattmctyre]

Well I recently got rid of all my community fish and gave them to my cousins. So I decided to start putting new fish in. So far I have 2 leopard bush fish, 2 giant danios aand one dinosaur bichir. I'm not planing on getting any more fish. I understand that leopard bush fish are kinda shy but I want to know if they are sensitive to bright lights cause they tend to hide in the caves in my aquarium most of the time? Thanks

Those I kept years ago were not shy, provided they had lots of places to hide. They are night ambush stalkers so like to hide and wait for something tasty to swim/float by.

The more places to hide, the more often they are out it seemed. I also diffused the light with floating plants and tannins.

Alright I have about four small rock cave I made and plenty of plants but I've only had them for three days so they may still be adjusting

is a leopard bush fish a leopard gourami?

if so, total ambush hunters. they love crickets if you can buy the little ones.

Yes they are the same thing but right now mine are only about two to three inches long
