Last week I seperated 3 female fish into my 56 from my 75, and now they all hide whenever someone enters the room. Although I can see them come out if I get far enough away from the tank and wait, they do come out for a second when I feed them, but they eat very little, and hide again.
I've checked the parameters for the water, they are all perfect, 0/0/<10 with about 8.1-8.2 ph.
Last week I vented them all for the first time and placed them in their respective tanks and one of the females was holding (demasoni, I think she swallowed the eggs, because she eats alittle now, and her mouth doesn't look as full as before)
Do you think that the venting my have traumatized them so much they are always scared now?
I've got (all female):
1 Jewel
1 juv P. Saulsoi
1 demasoni
