  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice fish! Very entertaining.
 
Loads of personality he's got. Why does he shy from the egg crate? My old FH did the same with the net until I made a habit of feeding with the net. Eventually he'd let me net him without any resistance. He wasn't as pretty as yours is though, nice fish.

thanks! he's a nice fish, I need to work on his color though, he's pale at times.

a few people speculate he had a bad memory w/ eggcrate dividers, in which case, he's showing some long term memory b/c i bought this guy about 4-5 months ago and he never saw an eggcrate in my care until the day of that video.

either way, its still an interesting video. i've been using other objects trying to find something else he fears... so far, eggcrates is his only fear :D
