I just tried it for the first time and found it interesting, the way fish react to it. It caused quite a stir and all the fish in my tank were reacting crazy to it. I had to stop after a couple of minutes because I thought it might stress them out. I'm guessing from the reactions, it was a territorial instinct.

Have not tried it myself but have heard of others using mirrors with their fish before.

Ahhh, that would make sense. Never had to use it but I can see how it would work.

I use a mirror when I need/want to add another fish to the tank. I will leave it up for a few days till the new fish settles in...works great
