Doug, I haven't seen any bleaching and they all seem fine. Mind you I'm still acclimating them to the light. I haven't lowered it yet to its final height. I started with a 2 hours on and 2 hours off schedule and am now up to 4 hours on and 2 hours off. A couple more weeks I think until the final height and 8 hours of MH and 12 hours of T5's.

Next time you are playing with your trigger, (the fish...not what you are thinking...) try just gently pressing him up against the glass. My old Blue Throat used to just freeze and you could hold him there for 20 seconds or so.

I dug up this old video of my trigger's trick. I bet this response is common to all triggers.

Brad, I tried playing with my trigger, (the fish... not what you are thinking...) and it works! He's a little flighty of it but he did freeze up for a second. I'll keep practicing.

It's ok Laurie. I don't fool with the trigger. I prefer the loaded gun!

Sorry Doug, but your tank journal requires an "R" rating.

Mine's just "PG 13"

Lance the idea is not to put them in your mouth though even if you're just fooling around!

Those videos are awesome. And cool trick with the glass. If I ever have a tank big enough to fit a glass in again i'll do it!
