Fish and lights

[MikeDeL]

Whenever I need to get into one of my tanks real quick I always take the light off and set it behind the tank. While Im in the tank I notice my fish are swimming around on their side. So I was wondering, do fish orient themselves with the light, keeping the light above them? Or are all of my fish just wierd.


Thanks,
Mike

It's cause you smoke the wacky tobaccy near your tank ;)

Seriously, that is highly interesting. I, for one, will be trying this at some point.

I would think the swim bladders kept them swimming upright...

maybe they're being submissive with you? they think your the great big fish that runs the tank :-D
