How do opae handle floating objects? For esthetic effect i am thinking on adding a floating tube to my tank. Good idea or will this cause unnecessary stress?

I was thinking to add this tube (filled with something) :

Helium?


Don't think they will care: They are so playful that they will just nibble on it and so on IMHO.

Wow I got a crazy idea. You could make a permanent densimeter out of it!

Haha, if the bottom is heavy and there is enough air in it, it will float and it can be beautiful I think. And it can work like the densimeter indeed but that won't be easy to produce a working one.

Actually, isn't anyone keeping the densimeter in the tank all the time? Easy because it also measures temperature... Or is it risky to break it?

FYI: I was thinking about a colored liquid or some kind of plant in the tube... Maybe a small ship or a message in a bottle? so many options...

Sounds nice! I once broke a densimeter. They are not very robust.

I would love to have a water bridge between two tanks one day like this

Between your opae tanks? Sounds cool, but if something goes wrong your both tanks will be polluted...

I say no angst!

This is just a crazy idea I may realise (sometime) in the future. I just love the idea of connected tanks.

Cool way to experiment water conditions. Imagine one tank has lower temps and the other warmer temps to see which they prefer or hang out more.

One 4 C and one 30 C you mean?

Yeah. :)

When mine breed a lot and my tank gets crowded it'll be cool to experiment with such a "water bridge"
