Shy Moore

[tah1795]

I have a Black Moore in with a few other fancy fish.
When I feed my fish all of them come up to feed, except the Moore.
She just stays on the bottom, and pecks at the sand, I am worried she might be sick, or are Moores naturally more shy?

I have the same issue. It's because their telescope eyes do not see very well. The food needs to just about hit it on the head for it to notice that I am feeding it.

give the fish some time, I have a moor that started out this way, smallest fish, more shy and didn't really eat that much, now.....he is the biggest fish in the tank and a bully.....don't worry he'll come around...
