RE: A. Geryi - Shyness

You're right it all helps, my tank is full of mops for them to hide in.   I
just think they are more prone to hideing than some of the other killifish
genera.   more cents.

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
