[Killietalk] scintillating mop colors

["L. Langione" <lonlangione at suscom_net>]

Since Erny brought it up.... We have used the soft and fluffy yarn that was
brought up in a previous thread. We used the sage green color. We also use
the regular yarn from red heart in the hunter green color. We find that the
fish we are using both types of mops with prefer the regular yarn to the
soft and fluffy yarn. Some fish we have bottom mops of both types in with
them and they seem to prefer the hunter green regular yarn. One fish in
particular Aphyo sp. bitteri have never laid an egg in the soft and fluffy
yarn. I believe they prefer the regular yarn over the soft and fluffy yarn.
Not sure if color has anything to do with this or not. And if fish are color
blind, then why do cichlids respond to flashy colors of amorous mates. If
you have ever seen the color fluctuations of any Pelivcachromis during
courtship and breeding you would never believe that fish are color blind.
