Earlier this summer, I posted about dither fish. In fact, I am a big proponent of them and use them frequently.

Dither fish make a difference
Normally, I don’t keep anything other than cichlids. This means I typically don’t have dither fish or other schooling fish. However, because I am preparing for some new cichlids and I have a couple of sparsely populated tanks, I wanted to boost the beneficial bacteria in their respective filters.
Dither thou is
Got several cichlids that are skittish or that are reluctant to come out in the open except to eat? Fear not. Many species are known to be notoriously shy, and being confined to a small space surrounded by an invisible barrier (glass walls) can produce myriad behavioral changes.
