Note: I have encountered a lot of confusing on when to turn off the lamp. I know the lights positively affect the growth of plants, so I should keep it on, but sometimes I feel the lights are on for too long. I think I should introduce a new control variable for this. Yesterday, when I went to feed my fishies at night with the flakes, (I was confused about em the whole day. The new feed it is after all.) the lights in the aquarium were off for about an hour cuz they were on for too long. But when I went to feed em, I turned on the lights. And the fish were kinda lethargic. I felt like I went to their room when they were sleeping and turned the lights on, so that someone did not want to wake up. But the scene was just the cutest. Three fishies hiding in one nest. Another hiding behind the plant. Etc. Though when the Malawi Golden woke up, she began to become aggressive, probably due to abrupt and unexpected lights and hunger. So, in the end I decided that it would be better to feed em to reduce hunger and hence reduce the aggression. In the aggressiveness department, Malawi Golden would be the leader after all. I thought she was second place. But it seems she could very well be first place in dominance.
