EVERYTIME I GET A NEW FISH IT HIDES IN THE CORNER OR NEAR THE HEATER FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS BEFOR IT WILL EAT INFRONT OF ME AND COME TO THE FRONT OF MY TANK IS THAT NORMAL??
 
YES THAT'S NORMAL DEPENDING ON THE FISH. SOMETIMES THEY LIKE TO GET USED TO THEIR TANK BEFORE COMING OUT INTO THE OPEN. WHY DID YOU ASK THE QUESTION IN CAPS? ISN'T THIS ANNOYING?

Actually there are several things I could complain about today; I won't go into details. And clearly we have different viewpoints on annoying. IMO, putting a whole message in caps unnecasarily IS annoying. Caps should be used for starting a sentence, a name, or emphasis. So when I read a whole message in caps, in my mind (I'm not the only one, believe me) it seems like he's shouting. Hence why I find it annoying, but thanks for your thoughts...:screwy:

Well then that's all I needed to hear. And as I said before it is fairly normal for new fish to exhibit the behavior you described depending on the species and individual.

Glad youve figured out your problem. Next step is addressing it and finding a solution.

Its all good though. Youre not the first to lack the ability to understand its a computer screen you are looking at, not a human being standing in front of you yelling. Its just text bigger than lower case. It will be ok.

Yes well just because it's on a computer screen doesn't mean it should be gramatically incorrect. How would you feel if you had to read a book all in caps. Idk, maybe you'd be okay with it. Most people, including me, would not. Anyways, he already explained why it was all in caps, and clearly this conversation isn't going anywhere, so end of discussion. Have a good day.
