   I have seen this many times, and it proved true to me again.
   
   If you only have a few fish in a tank, especially a large tank they tend to hide all the time.
   
   In the last month I went from 5 fish to 10 fish in my 250, and the 5 fish that were always hiding are now out and about all the time.

   Absolutely. When fish dont see others swimming freely they may think a predator is in the area, and since everyone else is hiding they should do it too.
   
   Putting a group of mid to top tank swimmers in your aquarium will do wonders to bring out shy fish.
