I have an 8 inch fox face rabbit fish. Whenever I stress him out.. (which is all the time... sensitive bugger) he will swim to the side of the tank and changes colors to match the algae on the glass and sits still - I imagine a kid closing his eyes and screaming you can't see me, you can't see me... Heh.

Yup, normal
Best faker by far the firefish. Upside down, dead as a door nail, then poof, back to life |
