After this discussion here I was thinking about my 60 liter harvei male / one linkei male tank, – and I realized I had not paid too much attention to providing good options for them to have caves or territories, – and I often did see fish in this kind of threathening brownish/ grey colour, – as if they always had to quarrel and show off.
So I decided to put in a lot of these small film cans, in fact I put in five :), and its really amazing to see how this has affected them all. Of course theres still some quarrel, but the colours are now much more bright and deep, not so much this greyish agressive, more like full colours (which to me look less stressing ? ) And it is so obvious that they are so interested, they move around the tank, and up in the more open water, not hiding so much, – it does seem to me that its good for them to suddenly have ‘a meaningfull activity’ 🙂
And theres fish in most of the cans 🙂 .. very funny actually.
