I am humbled (or rather my pet aro) by the compliments given. Anyway, it's kind of jumpy... it has jumped and injured itself twice. First occasion occurred on the first night when I switched off the light.
The second incident happened this morning when i discovered a scale at the base of the tank. I have lowered the tank water level to 3/4, what should I do next, i.e. calming this fella? |

The most idea situation is to use those programmable lights that dimmable so ur fish dun get a shock when its switch on. The other ways is to use a timer to switch on and off ur lights at fixed time. After a while the fish gets used to the lighting routine. Switching on the lights 24/7 doesn't help. It gets worst if the lights is switch off for whatever reason. |

U're right though dimming the lights before switching off would b better. Although in this case dimming but keeping it on for the time being would work better since its stressed by the dark. Personally I keep the room light on for an hour at least after switching off tank lights. Then keep a small night light on after turning off the room light. Manual dimming |
