Once people pass by the fish tank, they will be directly frightened and half dead. Or when sitting in front of the tank to enjoy the fish, the fish are all hiding in a corner, then the owner must be very unhappy. Why are the ornamental fish that I have kept for a long time still so afraid of people, and how to improve it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >Why are ornamental fish afraid of people? </h1>
Ornamental fish are afraid of people, mainly caused by two aspects. On the one hand, it is its own factors, on the other hand, it is man-made, let's first talk about the first one, caused by its own factors.
It is actually very common for ornamental fish to be afraid of people due to their own factors, and there are many factors. The most common is that because you have just arrived home, the environment changes drastically, and there are no companions around, which will cause the early ornamental fish to be very afraid of people. But this basically doesn't matter, you just need to raise a breed and let the ornamental fish adapt. Native fish caught in the wild are actually the most likely to occur because there is no one in the place where they used to live. If you are locked up by an unknown creature and have to be stared at by this unknown creature every day, is it extremely frightening in your heart? There is also a kind of timidity, each fish has a different guts, and people will be afraid when they lean over. The most common are these three factors, and some small probability factors will not be mentioned here.
Man-made, generally improper "play" methods. Some people will find it fun to pat the ornamental fish with their hands, but this is not true, which will disturb the ornamental fish. I have a fish friend who runs a restaurant, and he has a golden cobra thunder dragon, which is the orange spotted snake. He kept the snake in the restaurant. But during a feeding, the fish suddenly became very afraid of people, checked the monitoring and found that a bear child was pasted on the fish tank to see the fish, and from time to time he also clapped with his hands, resulting in this cobra Thunder Dragon shadowing humans. Fortunately, the back is back to normal. At present, he bought a one-meter tank to raise Thunder Dragon and put it in his home to prevent his fish from being bullied by bear children.

First you have to improve the environment. If the fish are afraid of people, you need to put more dodge in the first time to create a more hidden environment. These dodgers can be sunken wood, water banyan trees, or stones, in short, hidden. If you can, it is best to turn off the light, and if you really can't, adjust the brightness of the light to the darkest. Both single-culture ornamental fish and group-reared ornamental fish can rely on environmental improvement as an auxiliary operation.
After three days without feeding, the ornamental fish reach a state of hunger and make them desire to eat. After three days you can hold their favorite food in your hand and reach into the water to feed them. This is a process that requires a lot of patience. At first, fish will be very timid and afraid to eat. But eventually they will be beaten down by hunger. After feeding, feed them by hand and let them get close to your hands.
Of course, the main point is actually to be close to the fish. When you are fine, you can stay in front of the fish tank, tease the fish, and gently pat it on the surface of the water with your hand or gently slide on the wall of the tank. Don't shoot, don't scare them. If they are frightened, the trust they had in you in the past will be lost. The above method is aimed at artificial breeding, or wild but bold fish. If the fish are wild and have relatively small guts, they cannot use the above method. You can only maintain it normally, and then the rest is left to time. The catfish I caught were extremely afraid when they first arrived, and it wasn't until three months later that they became bold. To make wild fish not afraid of people, you can only raise them for a longer time, get closer to them, and let them get used to the existence of humans.
