GPS See colors?
I am currently creating a larger tank for my GPSs. I am looking around ebay for different decorations. I like lots of color..so before I color coordinate I was wondering if GPS or any other puffers prefer one color over another. Can they see in color?

Not at all.
But I think that darker gravel will show more colorful Puffer then a light color gravel for a viewer

Re: GPS See colors?
I was thinking of going with a neon green for gravel (yes I know..crazy color)
One of my GPS is rather yellow
and the other is a typical green
But you have said darker so maybe an emerald green?
Right now they have purple/pink gravel..and that does show off there green/yellow..

Re: GPS See colors?
My 2 GSPs don't like red! They go to the back of the tank if I am wearing a red t-shirt! However, my water change bucket is also red & they don't like that either. Started thinking that they didn't like water changes (therefore associated red with water changes) , but they "play" in the stream of new water as it comes in, so I don't think it can be that!

Re: GPS See colors?
Red was the reason I was asking the question LOL
I hate red and therefore was excluding red from the tank..so I was wondering if they really did like red...if they wanted red in the tank.
Ok, red is out..thank goodness!

Re: GPS See colors?
Most fish have good color vision.
I've heard of several fish disliking certain colors, but i don't remember having one. But then I am rather conservative in both my clothes and my tanks.

50% of fish could be color blind, but "most" of the fish are recognizing the "shape" then a color.

Re: GPS See colors?
I am afraid that I would need to see a good reference to accept that. Fish use their eyes and color sense quite similarly to birds, and color plays an enormous role in their lives.

Re: GPS See colors?
Nearly every puffer I've owned has shown a very distinct dislike to bright reds and oranges. They often get over it quick enough, but approach their tank wearing a bright red or orange/yellow shirt and they freak out.
Re: GPS See colors?
I agree with RTR, most fish can see in colour, some fish are even tetra-chromats so they have better vision than us!
