Anyone else notice this? I have a pair of bicolor angels in a species specific tank right next to my desk.

If I come with a banana I'm eating, they are scared to death. Other things I might carry can frighten them too, but not like bananas. Yes- they go bananas over bananas. The dominant male hides like nothing, while the smaller female is long gone, digging her own grave because she's sure the end is neigh.

Color and size of a banana? Any predators that would have the same color? Does it look like potentially another bicolor to them, only huge?

Their reaction is so severe I don't bring bananas into the office anymore. It's like they're gonna jump off a ledge or something, and I don't want that!
