    8) This morning I went to my 75 g to feed some Cyclopese frozen, like I always do and my Sailfin Tang and Percula came out to have a bit. Went to feed the two fish their food and the Tang puffed up and hid and would not come out, so did perc, Tang was acting freaked out behind rocks. I thought something was really wrong, he is actually a pig disguised as a fish and doesn't miss eating! Realized he was only being skittish when I was by tank. Having read a thread on forums here, I wondered if it was the bright red shirt I had on that was freaking them out. I never wear red. I changed to neutral color, viola, happy hungry fish!!

    Odd, but I'm wearing gray now and the fish are completely normal. Any good LFS up in Port Charlotte?

    you know, people say that fish can't see the color red but I had a niger trigger that would chase a red laser pointer so you never know.
