    Like the title says just wondering what the funniest behavior is you have observed in your tank? Please stick to what you seen in person.

    Me for example:

    Watching my fat belly lawnmover blenny sit a rock and rock & sway with the current on his fat belly like a webel wobble for minutes at a time.

    My black O clown will swim low along the bottom of the tank, then straight up in front of the powerhead until the current catches him and shoots him across the tank. he takes laps, over and over.

    I have had Chromis swim in formation in a PH stream like cyclists and peel off and rotate forward.

    My Royal Gramma swims sideways and upside down in caves and overhangs but that is normal for the species.

    Just fish?

    The AH (6-spot sleeper goby), goes over to Spot's (orange-spotted goby) side, poops, then runs away. They don't get along too well LOL.

    When I sit in a chair in front of the tank, Spot perches on a rock & stares at me while hopping a little bit.

    I forgot my canary wrasse will chase it's tail in one direction, decide it is too wound up and then will chase in the other direction to unwind.

    I bought a foxface that was in a tank with a few clowns at the LFS. After I got him in the tank, he was swimming like a clown! You know the up and down motion! I have a video, just need to find it...
