What Wierd Things Does Yours Do?

As the title says, what wierd things does your fish in your tank do?

I'll start. My Blue Hippo Tang will swim to the bottom of the tank and pick up a hermit crab in the shell with her mouth. She will then swim herself with the crab/shell in her mouth all the way to the top of the tank and drop it! ;D I have not been able to get this on camera, but it is hilarious to watch.

 

One of my clowns follows my Goldheaded sleeper goby around and when the goby sifts the sand out of his gills, my clown always thinks its feeding time.

 

Thats pretty funny! You think the clown would learn.

 

My firefish rubs up against my arm when its in the tank and seems to want me to touch it. It will swim into my cupped hand and just sit like its dead. Very weird.

My 8" engineer digs the largest tunnels I have ever seen and covers each entry with shells and rock rubble every night before it goes to bed. It actually dug all of his tunnels to the bottom of the glass and the light from my fuge shines up. I can look at the bottom of my tank from the inside of the stand anytime and spot my engineer goby chillin.

My goby sits all day sifting large piles of sand that my engineer made. Since I got my engineer, it engineered all of the burrows to perfection so my pistol and goby have nothing to do all day but eat.

My hippo tang constantly follows my mandarin around when it gets bored. My mandarin constantly flaps and flips up his fins and scares the hippo. This goes on almost all day. Doesn't seem to bother the mandarin too much but I'm sure its annoying.

My black clown is the meanest SOB in my tank. Whenever I have my hands in the tank its in attack mode and does not stop. Its only about 2" and leave big marks on my hand and draws blood in softer spots. It sucks.

 

My sleeper goby did the same with small snails until yesterday - found KIA.

The cleaner shrimp will roll on its back at feeding time and "walk" across the surface of the water picking at food.

 

My yellow clown goby follow me around the outside of the tank and likes to sit on anything new I put in the tank.

A perfect example is how he went to a coral frag just minutes after installing the frag rack and adding a new frag (see attached picture).

 

I just found this out the other day. If I start shaking something in front of the tank my clown goes absolutely NUTS. I was shaking a test tube just looking at the tank and he literally started doing flips and went and hid behind the rocks. As soon as I stop..all is well.

 

As of recently my blue hippo will only eat if I feed them with my shirt off... She will hide if I'm wearing any colored shirt.... Gets really old really fast... lol

 

Funny, things tend to run when I take my shirt of ha ha ha.

 

lol.. good one!
