I'm dumb and donate my water or anything so I go straight from the tap... and about eight or nine months out of the year it is just fine but the other months like right now it's not as stable). They still come out and Gorge themselves on food as long as I step back and watch from distance pan coloration and breathing and water parameters are fine. But my former Aquascape was heavier on places to hide yet they did not and now I want to see more of an Island theme towards the Middle with branches coming up towards the side and it's less hiding places yet they feel the need to hide. I'm just waiting for the tap water to get a little better in the next month and then I'm just going to make them happy and hopefully horny so that they don't even think about who's in front of the glass, they want to see who's ready for love.
So don't freak out too much, at least you found someone else is going through the same thing
