I have had a Green Phantom for a little over 1 year now. I bought her at about 2 inches, and she appears to have grown about 1 inch. When I first got her, she was all over the tank on the first day or two, sucking up and down the glass. After that, she stayed hidden inside of one of my decorator logs. For over a month, I never saw her come out or swim about, or even eat. A few times I saw her being chased around by my Leopard Sailfin Pleco, and once or twice saw her fighting with my Golden Nugget Pleco. Then the fighting and chasing stopped. after about 3 months, I finally saw her coming out to eat, and now, she's the first one out when it's feeding time. She doesn't hide as much as she used to. Sometimes she stays under one one my logs, and other times she just hangs about the outside of the log. I've also seen her just laying right out in the open in the middle of the tank. The light doesn't seem to change her behavior, regardless of whether I have a dim light on or the full bright light on.
