Eye candy.



Correct me please if I am wrong, but I always thought (and I thought I read) the opposite.

A fish appears the biggest in a spherical fishbowl, which acts like a convex lens and gives a magnified virtual image of the fish because of the refraction.

In a perfectly rectangular tank, the fish only appears at a smaller depth than they really are, that is closer to you and so does the back wall as well. But the glass panel bends and this places it between a bowl and a perfectly flat rectangle viewing panel. Hence, the more it bends, the larger the exaggeration.

that maybe the case with a bowed front glass or lots of reflections from glass but all my sides apart from the front glass are covered

i have sold fish in the past that looked small in the tank but as much bigger when removed

At least another member Djaalix reports a similar experience (two posts on page 5 here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...iving-at-a-shop-nearby/page5&highlight=optics) where he finds fish is bigger when removed from his tank(s). I guess I need to keep trying to understand this better.

He is a great fish, T1. Are you still selling him? If you are, may I say you are crazy!
