snip. Is their anyway to help them
get over their shyness without overfeeding them, and so I can see them
during the day? Should I remove the cave?


Give them some time to adjust to their new surroundings. Feed them less.
When they get hungry enough, they'll come out more readily for feeding.
They'll associate you with food and they'll be out all the time.
Stop feeding blood worms and brine shrimp. This is a good way to kill your
Mbuna. They mostly eat algae in the Lake and feeding meaty things like blood
worms is a good way to cause digestive tract infections and blockages. Stick
with spirulina for now. Spectrum New Life cichlid pellets are good also.
Give it time, they'll be out.
