as im surfing mfk on my computer i hear a loud THUD from the living room

i see debris of some kind skattered all over the tank (nothing serious)

and then i see my flowerhorn cowering in the corner pale and colorless and almost dead looking

he is usually like this when the lights go out and when i turn on any bright lights he started panicing, well today would be the first time he actually freaked.


normally to get him out of it i turn the lights on just bright enough to wake him over a 10 minute period and when i come back he come to the front of the tank and has that HI FRIEND! look on his face.

my aro freaked when he freaked as well, that was the loud thud i heard, im thinking they freak because they bump into each other and its startling to them.
 
I had that same problem with my aro every morning, and somtimes he would freak out at night when my tig was moving about.

The way I solved that was I bought a moon light for the tank. Never had a problem with that again.

Just something you might wan't to consider.
