Fish Folk Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Ever check out your fish at night? Thought I'd share a few nighttime shots from our tanks, in no particular order. Jump in and photo yours if you like. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I watch my fish at night all the time, sadly the pics never turn out as cool as the in person. I find that my Otocinclus are way more active at night and are ALL over the place. Some of your fish look like they definitely get cozy when the lights are out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I was up watching the bluejays last nigh and was able to snag a few pics: I rarely get to see this snail and even more rarely it moving: And then Hugo, sleeping by the filter intake (as always) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMongler Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I know in my tank at night when I look, my white cloud mountain minnows tend to dull their colors and sleep. My oto and hillstream loaches seem to get out and about from hiding places and seem to do more stuff at night compared to the day, though they aren't always hiding all day either. My red cherry shrimp... they appear to just keep on doing shrimp stuff, day or night. Even when I lost power during the big Texas freeze, the red cherry shrimp were just as active when the tank got cold and was running on battery air alone. I tend to see more of the other inverts coming out at when the lights are off. The malaysian trumpet snails are fairly scarce during the day, but they 100% come out in force at night. Same for bladder snails. I also tend to see some of my resident population of planaria visible on the glass if I shine a light at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Is that a discus lying on the bottom next to the upside-down one? Your description fits!! This makes me want to go buy night vision glasses! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
