Yes, ITs do better in low lighting. But they eventually get used to the bright lights, so eventually, they'll come out and swim around, especially near meal times.

On your light more often and let them get used to it.

I got one IT recently and disxovered that IT are more shy indeed, esp when compared to other Dats species like ST, which swims in front of you, non-stop
