Stress Fishes?
Why fishes in LFS are so calm and always looking at me but my fishes always hiding when I come close to the tank?

Color pattern in the room? Im not sure, but my fish are the same. I always just figured they had more places to hide in my tank so they do.

They are like puppies at the pound,
they are on their best behavior so you adopt them. My money is on the more places to hide in your tank.

My fish hardly ever hide...what fishy's do you have? Mine are all piggies and think that I have food for them every time I pass. Mine are also in a high traffic area.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

How long have they been in the tank? I found my Flame Angel took a good 1.5 - 2 months of getting accustomed to me before it wouldn't hide all the time. Other fish seem to be ok with a person right away.
I think it also depends on how quickly you approach the tank. Sometimes mine still get spooked if I walk by quickly. You might be able to lure them with a little bit of food when you walk up all the time too Mine seem to know when it's time to get fed.

Really strange though, they do not seem like fish that would spook that easily. |

I think the fish feel safer at the store because there's more of them in the tank.
