I built some towers to get them to the middle. They were scared and hid. Funny thing is that when I kept the structures with rocks quite low and across the breatdth of the tank they actually came out to the mid area MORE. They just felt safer when there was more coverage. At least that was my experience with my little experiment. (my stock include electric yellow, Hongi Island & kingsizeii) All the best for your tank renovation/setup  ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |

I have 2 big towers and a big wall and all my fish love to play out in the open. Its a lot easier to clean the tank with rocks stacked than them laying all around. |
