I'm done arguing with you Haggis. That is one opinion you have about the word from one source, period. The word can have either meaning, if you choose to be so picky about the meaning then fine be that way, but simply put dither's can serve either purpose. You saying it can't is false information because many people, not just myself, commonly accept it to mean both things. If you want to get right down to it, the word Dither means to act erratically, or nervously. Target fish do this to attract the attention of the predatory aggressive fish in the tank, and also if they act in the same manner, they can encourage shy fish to come out from hiding because of their fearless behavior. Thus the word Dither fish can be suited just fine to either type of use they are used for.

Thats really the first page I found on google, there were more.They are two separate terms becuase they are used for two seperate purposes, if you prefer to have one name for both then thats fine but this being a help forum means the correct terms should be stated so people dont get confused.
