YeW Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Cover the sides/back of the tank with black cardboard - this will help reduce their stress.Also - a couple of large terracotta pots make good homes.HTH - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barra Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 i have also heard that skittish fish at night can be caused by bugs crawling on the outside of the glass. maybe you want to invest in a bug repellent4 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiledonmainstreet Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 As long as you have good surface water oxygen exchange, you can never suffocate your fish by covering the tank. If you don't have the proper oxygen diffusion, you can cause problems. I think Dave's idea of the cardboard, and pots is choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
