## Resource

Shy fish can turn a beautiful freshwater aquarium into an “invisible fish” tank but most hiding behaviour has clear, fixable causes. In this episode of The Aquarist’s Edge, Art breaks down why fish stay tucked away and how to coax them into the open without stress using smarter aquascaping, gentler lighting, confidence-building feeding routines, and a quick social “bully check.” Whether you keep tetras, rasboras, corydoras, or other community fish, this episode will leave you with a practical plan to help your fish feel safe and behave naturally. 🎵 Music: "Feels Like That (Instrumental)" - Victor Lundberg (Epidemic Sound - https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/6d3d8cd6-d6e1-416c-a88c-1ed926005a4f/ )
