my nano tank is on my study table and my study table has fluorescent lgiht tubes across... when i switch on the light, the bigger clownfish will go crazy, darting around and hiding at his fav spot. the smaller one looks okay but will occasionally ki siao with the bigger one.

this strange behavior only started yesterday night... i think it might have something to do with the red bamboo algae and mushrooms i added into my sump tank on wed...

it takes awhile for them to calm down after switching off the lights... and they are still feeding well. whats wrong?? help...

Unlike other animals, Fishes do not have eyelids and sleep with their eyes open, therefore after getting very used to the dark, and you suddenly on the light, it will temporary blind them, causing them to go into a panic mode, darting in and out everywhere.. Suggest you stop doing that to reduce the stress of the fish.

Do note that doing this is a good way to catch fish out of tank.. cause they cannot see the net..

the alternative/solution/way-of-doing-this to this... maybe u can slowly brighten the tank... maybe one tube first... followed by the next tube 5 minutes later....

if only one tube... maybe u open curtains or u on your room light first loh.....
