Reflections

[Anthony Pruitt]

I hate to be the one to tell everybody, but a fish is not fighting or
playing with it's reflection in the tank. There is no reflection on the
inside, it's an optical illusion when viewed from the outside. From the
inside, the walls are clear. While your tang or other fish might be
psychotic, it's not
from chasing it's reflection

Hello Anthony,

I would say that your statement is not correct. If the room is darker
than the aquarium, you will get a reflection from the inside glass.

You can try this yourself [if possible]. Try at night time when outside is
dark and you have your room lid with light. Look at the windows, you will
see reflection of something. But from outside looking in, you see everything
normal.
