One of my two hatchlings hasn't been acting right. We call him shyguy because since day one he's been quite shy and hides a lot. Anyway, lately he hasn't been eating much, and just hides behind the plants in the bottom of the tank. I've tried giving him hydro-life, but I cant get him to open his mouth! Any tips? I'm worried!
