    Better than no video!
    Are they growing noticeably?
    If the tank is in a quiet area, they may take a long time to get tame.
    With shy fish, I put the in a tank where there is a high traffic volume, and keep them hungry. They get over it soon!

    They quickly learn to recognise the hand that feeds them. Right now they mistake you for a predator!

    Not to worry, it's their survival instinct. They will soon learn to trust you. Make a fuss of feeding them small quantities, they will quickly associate the clamour with food.
    Food is the key to taming these beasts!
