This is on the surface a silly question but i was kind of curious if there is an explanation for why some species are extremely bold and other hide all day long. Two examples (both wc) that I own are:
D50 - never hide - have to shoo away when working on the aquarium - somewhat innately curious what i am doing. Not really sure curious is the correct word since i don't think fishes think in those terms but that sort of the best explanation i can give for the behavior.
pucallpaensis - even after a year the male will run an hide if i approach the aquarium - wants nothing to do with me - the female as seems more typical for most species are quite bold and the frys also enjoy a good feeding (they are around 2 months old).
