Re: A. Geryi - Shyness

Mike and Bill,  It wont solve all the shyness of your Scriptaphyosemions, but 
you may try to cover the back of the tank, and the sides with some black 
construction paper. I usually do this with that subgenus, leaving only the 
front open to view the fish. I think they may feel insecure when alot is 
going on around them, making them skittish as you were saying. The last time 
that I covered the sides of the tank was for A.cauvetti Saramousaya. It 
definitely helped. They still were apt to hide abit, but would eat and stay 
out in the open for awhile. The male would actually show off in the middle of 
the tank with a little afternoon sunlight flickering on the anubias. 2 cents
