Funny you guys bring that up. I recently picked up some yellow perch I farmed out to one of the high schools I've set up recirculating systems at. As I dropped the water level in the tank I wss struck by how docile the fish were compared to how flighty they were when I had them in a basement tank. I actually caught some if them with my hands at the school.
The room they were in is also a welding shop with lots of noise and bright lighting. Also lights snap on in the morning and go ff at night, which freaked the fish when they were in my basement, which is why I keep the lighting low and on 24/7.
