Are silver arows afraid of red?

I have this setup also, one 7" silver aro and 3 of 2" bp. The bps seems afraid of the aro. But they get along.
Funny this thread is here tonight. I have read a few time's not to wear red around an aro tank, and tonight when I went to feed my lil guy (8") he was acting weird, jerky movements, and resting on the bottom of the tank. Now that I saw this posting I realize that I have on a red shirt. The shirt may be the reason or it may not but I have seen loads of red color scheme's and fish stocking with aro's and they seem to be fine. Imma do a water change anyway.
There have been reports of arowanas being afraid of colors, red yellow and orange. This is for colors outside the tank. I have a silver which is very spooked by red/orange. Of coarse when one of my silvers is spooked the other follows, so I am careful with what I wear.
Hey! I just thought of a new "sport"! Like bullfighting, but with an Arowana and a red vinyl cape!
