Spooking fish & viewing windows

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Little late, but I've finally figured something out. With any luck, this will also be of help to others who need to socialize their fish to movement.

My schedule permits a socialization walk in front of that tank for 7 minutes every 23 minutes. DMD123 DMD123 , I understand if you're not able to answer this (since living room traffic isn't often something kept track of), but would you say your living room gets a similar amount of traffic to that? More? Less?
However much it is, it's definitely the right amount given how unafraid your bala sharks are. So I'm hoping to be able to replicate it.
Tough to determine how much time the fish see activity… we remodeled the house around the tank so its an open concept living area. Kitchen, dining room, living room and front door are all in the same “room”. You have to walk by the tank to use the main bathroom or go to the bedrooms. They see light from a door and window, also see the tv on and even deal with my sound system when I watch a movie. I guess the best thing I could say is they are just desensitized to movement and sound (subwoofer). Even the young grandkids with their unpredictable nature dont phase them, lol.
