A.m.P Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I'm amazed the damsel jumped, they're not really known for that, even when I turn mine into a zombie by turning the lights in the living room on too late at night it just kind of listlessly blows around in the current. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Mine are in a lower flow tank, so it appears more like they are just asleep, even if they were awake when the lights came on. They have done this for more than a decade; and no, I don't ramp up my T5 lights. It usually takes just a few minutes for them to start to behave normally. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ah see, the damsel sleeps in caves, it will literally come out from the cave in stress colors and float, wide-eyed and backwards around the tank until I turn the lights off XD 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hmmmm that may have done it. Have a timer so lights click in at full in the mornings. It did seem a little skittish at lights on. Cujo is still swimming around. Have seen it chilling in the wavemaker flow several times before perching on my Hammer.... 2 Quote Link to comment
