I believe that fish can "Sense" different people in a way. I have an
Atlantic Blue Tang that hides in the rocks and stays in the back of the tank
when my wife or daughter go near the tank. If I come up to it the fish comes
right up to the front glass and swims back and forth. The others except for
the 6 line wrasse react almost the same way. Its almost like a conditioned
response from feeding them but it does happen. The fish also respond to my
son the same way as he also helps maintain the tank.
It sounds strange but it does happen...........

Same here - I have hepatus tang doing the same thing.
Actively recognises action in the whole fishtank room.

Sometimes I wish I was not recognized at all, because
I am not able to admire this fish with its natural
behaviour, grazing on rocks - instead, it is swiming
back and forward next to the front glass in anticipation
of feeding time...

Do they make Venetian Mirrors for fish tanks ?
This way fish could not see me and I could see
the fish behaving like I was not in the room...

One method would be to put window tinting on the glass,
and have the room lights off.

Yes, but this would filter out the light/colors from
the tank and it would make my tank look ugly :-)

This fish, unlike other fish, has big eyes and
an excellent vision :-)
