Things Your Fish Do!

[FishRfine]

Ill start it off!!!

. My oscar will stick his whole head out of the water to beg for food
. when ever someone gets in my face or I am angry at them, my Arowana actually jumps out of the water if they put their fingers near him, and tries to bite them off! (its happened 3 or 4 times)

You must be angry a lot, or slightly.. aggrivated?
Umm my oscar bites me(haha) and will eat frozen cube blocks whole.My discus have become so tame i can stroke them when feeding.My betta will freeze and watch me for up to around 5 minutes.My parrot cichlids follow me up and down the tank.Whenever my oscar bites me my silver dollars think i'm food and have a go too.

ahh

I'm sure its nowhere near as interesting as others but my harlequins go through spells of playing with the flow from my filter. They school together and suspend themselves in front of the flow then just let themselves get taken by the current to the other end of the tank. Its actually quite freaky to watch. My cardinals have tried to copy it before but don't seem to enjoy it as much and only do it once at a time. My harlequins will repeat over and over for a good few minutes.

So people are drawn to your fish tank when they get in your face. Do they normally stick their hand in the fish tank when they are angry? lol kind of weird friends you have.

When I turn my lights on, two of my angels have seizures and will dig themselves under the gravel in a matter of seconds. Kind of weird.

My gourami has picked up the habit of spitting water! He's always spitting water onto the glass top and sometimes he will jump abit as well. I think it's his sign that he's hungry and wants some food. As well, he will get angry at any fish that steals his food. My molly stole a flake that he was going for and for about 1/2 an hour afterwards would occasionally charge at her and chase her...and only her.

Also one of my corys just came up to the surface for air and obviously misjudged it a bit and came out of the water too far as he hit his head smack on the casing of my light. It was such a loud thud I heard it on the other side of the room. He seems okay....

A dwarf gourami.

when i am feeding my salt tank, i always tap on the top of the galss and my occelaris clowns come right up to me. also one time, a long time ago, i had a catfish that jumped out of my tank at night and when i woke up in the morning i stepped on it and it was all crispy

I've got one for you. We feed out betta Hikari Betta Bio-Gold. For some reason, he almost always gets them stuck on the top of his nose when he tries to eat them. He looks like he's doing one of those dog tricks where people balance the food on their nose before they tell them they can eat it. We've always fed our bettas the same food but he is the first one that has ever had this problem. My wife calls him a dork fish. I have tried to get a photo of him doing it but can't seem to get him to turn the right way.

My bettas are kind of insane. Once I was feeding after a water change and the lid was wet, so I accidentally spilled a pellet on it. When I put it back down, the pellet was on the underside a couple inches above the water. I walk out, come in fifteen minutes and one of the bettas has been jumping for it since I left!

my mbu regularily bites my foam background i have to clear it out the top of the tank. He doesn't eat it he just lets it know whos boss

 

[Yazan]

Well, I've got some.

.When I'm doing something near the tank the fish come straight to me and watch me till I finish.
.My fish goes behind the filter pipe after eating and you know what the means, she gets stuck.
.When I'm fixing something in the tank and my hand is in the water, my fish creep up on my hand then without me knowing, they bite me.
