Yeah, what is up with fish reacting to a camera like it's the eye of satan about to shoot out lasers?

Maybe I could take a picture of the feeding tongs, print it, make a small hole for the lens, and camouflage my camera.

From now on I'm going to feed my puffers while my camera is out. Hopefully it will make for some nice shots as they associate the camera and my beautiful face with food, but I can also see it going the other way lol. I've tried so hard to get good pics of my puffers with very little success. A lot of the time I end up taking snapshots out of videos, although that leaves them lower quality.
My figure 8 sleeps with his tail curled like SYN's GSP, so I'll have to see if I can sneak up on him without his "Food!!!" alarm going off.

That actually does seem like a very clever idea.

Then you could train your puffer to try and eat red laser dots lol.

Lol, my camera doesn't really have lasers
But occasionally I do play with the fish with the cat's laser toy.
Balki has pretty much figured out that it's an inedible ghost.

I think Figgy is freaked out by my laser, I thought she might follow it but she zooms away instead.

The image quality is terrible, but this figure 8 is cuddled up like SYN's GSP, with its tail curled and everything. It always sleeps like that.
