Fake fish scaring the guys

kathywithbirds · 06-06-2007, 07:20 PM

Next dumb question...

I got dried algae strips for the gang. Shrimp loves it.
I've been calling myself a dummy today and the trend continues...

I got a suction cup clippy shaped like a clownfish. Spot and the wrasse are distressed. Are they smart enough to figure out it's not a real fish?

They will eventually become desensitized to the plastic piscine. It's a cute clippy thing wish I had one!

I's suggest hanging it in the same place every time and leave it there even when there is no nori left on it.

Ditto what Dent said. They will figure out that it is not aggressive towards them and calm down eventually.

Oh no! Not the wrasse eating clown fish clip. They're doomed!!!

They would have done the same thing if you had the white gingerbread man clip like mine. It's new, they're scared, they will get over it soon.

I'm sorry but the party with which you are trying to communicate with is too old to understand (is it text?)!

Thanks Prow. It's good to know that there's an interpreter in the bunch for us older folks who have difficulty processing things like this.

Sorry, I'm learning from my 30-year-old sister (younger) who texts all her friends now instead of holding regular phone conversations!

And thanks for the translation, prow!!

rollin' again....
