skittish tinfoil barbs

[fatdoggy89]

so... my tinfoil barbs have been very skittish lately and while they still eat they don't attack their food the same way they used too. they seem very scared and huddle up together in one corner... are they just getting used to their new tank?(they recently transferd into the larger tank from a smaller one as they do grow large).

possibly, my tinfoil used to be very skittish while ni the 20, before I moved him to the 65. He would dart across the tank at random times.

They like to be in groups, but yes, they do get large. How much cover does your tank provide for them? Are there plants for them to hide in? Sometimes adding a few floating plants (just pull some strands off of a plastic aquairium decoration) and float them in the tank will bring out your fish.

My tinfoil barbs do not handle change very well either. It takes them awhile to adjust to very little changes.
