During a re-fill break after doing a late night/early morning water change I decided to try videoing the GHXB with a Sony Action Cam instead of usual phone camera. Guess he wasn't thrilled with the change lol (never did like this before).


Could have been because the Action Cam is white and my phone is dark blue but not sure, these fish can be psychotic.

Nice video was there anything that could have spooked the aro? A flash or a change in the lense like a quick close and open?

Thx Alec, in fact I'm not sure if he was spooked or just being feisty. Usually during WC's he attacks the return flow off a canister when it is above the waterline, so I had to start turning it off when changing water; also when the water levle is lower he generally seems to not like it so much.

But the Action Cam does have quite a bigger lens face than my phone, so there could have been a reflection off of it.

Did you get wet?

Absolutely drenched -- just kidding, only a few drops thx to 4" wide glass bracing around top of the tank. And while it was kinda surprising, to be sure it's nothing compared to what a lot peeps with big Pbass or Dovii have to deal with esp. during feeding time.
