Re: What color?

thats true but that takes time so you might as well paint it something you can stand to look at everyday for about a year or so

I really wanted to do that, i thought it would look great, but then i thought that it may drive some fish that don't like conspecifics crazy...but if you do it, lemme know how it works out!

Re: What color?

I used to use a mirror to run my foxface back from the seaweed clip so I could feed him.He'd see his reflection and dive into the rocks and go camo.
