Ok people this could be interesting conversation.
I made the aqua scape of my tank with bot my likes and my fish in mind (crappy picture I know). I like it a lot... my fish seem to love to move around about and through it (dragon wrasse, seems to prefer to dismantle it...lol). There are about 16 animals in my tank and there are days when I only get a few minutes to see one because they are hanging out in a cave for some reason. But when it comes to night time you would not think I had any fish in this tank. I have 5 inch domino damsels that disappears for several minutes while it naps then wakes up swims about then disappears again.
The question is does minimalist aqua scapes have a negative effect on fish behavior and does it increase the stress on the fish?
