She was housed with other fish and was used to lots of activity. She is just not sure how to behave yet.

Im sure she is just taking her time to get to know the place... whenever I got a new fish they always seemed shy.... after a week or two they usually come right out of there shell.... I dont know if adding fish when she is already shy gonna make her come out, or hide more?? Let us know how it turns out.

She was not a shy fish when VW had her. She was in a community tank with many others.

Glad to hear the cons helped out.

Hey, aquaman, check this out bro. If you want to see that jag, and how she used to act in my tanks I'm sure I have 20+ videos with her in them. Follow these simple instructions.
1. Youtube search fishnvw1
2. Subscribe
3. Go to the "subscriptions" tab
4. Click fishnvw1
5. Go through my 60ish videos and watch her.

She is a great fish, never had health, behavior, spawning, courting etc. issues. Check out my channel dude I had that girl for like 6 years. Maybe more, she is a truely wonderfull fish.

P.S. I hope she kills your hybrids... sorry:)

Sorry, that was a jerky thing to say. I don't wish death on anyones fish. I do wish people would stop hybridizing fish though. Again, sorry.
