I've used mirrors a good bit to help bring fish out of their shell and it seems to make them more interactive, or aggressive. You all see any problems with using mirrors? It really got my new male zonatum to lighten up after being introduced to a new tank.

I used an old mirror and put it behind my 55, like you said it makes them more playful or aggressive. I ddidnt really have any other results
A mirror helped me bring an abused oscar back to his playful personality, nothing but good things for me.
Mine don't stay up long as they gradually get used to it and ignore it. However, when used sparingly it works well.
A mirror has never worked on my dovii. He seems to "know". Damn smartest fish I've ever owned. He does many other things that make me think he is smarter than the other cichlids I have. I hope to have him ready by tax time next year!

I've never had any cichlid care about a mirror for more than 5 minutes. Either they'll run and hide, or attack it once or twice and leave it alone.
I don't see any issues with it unless you have a hyper aggressive fish that won't leave it alone.

I use mirrors above my tanks and by god my flowerhorns have brightened SOOO much all my fish have
Hasn't done anything for me. I have a 20gallon with a mirror back and no decor in the tank yet the fish still hide behind the sponge filter when I get close to their tank.
