that kinda doesnt make sense

What finer point does my learned Colleague want to dwelve into, this time? The various shades of dark? The concept of absolute darkness? Some wording fine tune?
Pray enlighten me, Delgado.

the tank is to small. aros freak out when there in a tiny tank and feel uncomfortable. he grew 5 inches already... get him out of that 30gal tank. i couln't even imagine keeping one in a 30, mines in a 60growout and it swims from wall to wall like a mad man and i kno he dont even like that and h's less then 6" still... bigger tanks brings calm reaction.. try it out.
 
these are all great points and concerns but this happened literally overnight. i checked the heater for cracks, in case of a short. the tank really doesnt seem too small and i am moving in a week and a half so it would be pointless to set a larger one up now. when i get moved i will do it though.

they dont like overhanging shadows.. and they dont like complete darkness as they spook easily.. but most arows grw out of it

i have a lilly and ive recently let some more of the lilly pads reach the surface. maybe she doesnt like them over her? its only a few pads though...i keep it trimmed out pretty good.
