Default Weird things fish do.....

My blue throat trigger does laps around my mp40 constantly, not in the flow in front, but around it. All the time except when I feed or he thinks he's getting fed or when Im sitting in front of the tank. Sometimes my hippo tang joins in, not chasing.....just following along.

What weird things do your fish do??

I have a Melanurus wrasse that does the same thing to the mag float.

My yellow tang waits until my MP40 goes off pulsating flow and onto constant then swims right into the centre trying to pluck algae of it, then when he gets tired, turns full broadside and allows the current to blow him to the other side of the tank

We have a captive bred clown (Goober) who likes to 'own' the center LR tower
He tries to boss around anyone who hangs out too long in his 'area', and gets lots of exercise as everyone else passes by/hangs out

Funny thing is, he keeps picking/poking at the RBTAs, swimming between the pair and poking at their tips like he can make them go away

We thought maybe he'd start a host thingy and won't encourage it as the nems are too small for a thrashing clown

Crazy fish
If he only knew what he should be doing

Oh, that reminds me ...

Our Starry blenny likes to come out of resting to run up and down the corner glass as he poops all over whoever is in the way

Funny fish you guys have!

My blue sided wrasse is, well I think, super friendly. He swims into my hands, I can scoop him if I want. One day I was doing some cleaning in the tank and not paying attention, he started nipping at the back of my arm until I played with him a bit.

My starry blenny likes to sleep draped over my algae clip. One night we were looking at the tank after lights out and I guess the current slowly dislodged her and she ever so slowly slid off the algae clip and didn't wake up 'till she hit the sand at the bottom. Holy Cow did she wake with a start. She swam out of there like there like she was being chased by the hounds of hell, lol. We laughed so hard.
