shadowfax Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 i have a geo surinamensis that likes to cover a little bridge in the tank with stones, then uncover it, then dig pits around it to make the bridge fall over, then fill the holes back in. he also gets angry at any java moss that floats into his digging space, grabs it & relocates it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 haha awesome Most fun we have with our fish is the oscars. We rearrange the large rocks in their tank and move stuff around. They pack a fit and start digging holes, testing out new caves, trying to push slate rocks / boulders they dont like. Cracks me up. We also had a green severum (RIP) who hated heaters, he'd pull them off the side of the tank, bite them, wack them, and try to cover them in stones.

me love fishy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 We also had a green severum (RIP) who hated heaters, he'd pull them off the side of the tank, bite them, wack them, and try to cover them in stones ha that is classic. I have a false algae eater that will bury himself up to half his body length into the gravel. His tank is in the hallway and you can hear him from the lounge digging around in the stones. I used to have a harlequin that thought it was his job to guard the front glass of the tank just before bedtime. he would chase away anyone that came near. We called him La Guardian.

Tsarmina Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 the funniest fish i've ever seen was at Billaneys house. there was this one little fish in a tank, swimming laps. round and round the tank it went, swimming the same circuit every lap.

sharn Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 my Oscar probably provides the most amusement. As we speak he is waging a war on one particular plastic plant, hes spent the last few days angry as hell (flaring, changing colours) attempting to ram it. It seems its the plants fault when hes goes straight thru it :lol: He also has a terracotta pot he has managed to move great distances (up and over a piece of driftwood) that also gets a good bite/tail slap just for good measure when it looks at him wrong :lol: His all time favourite hate is the white teddy bear, im not sure what exactly he hates about it but if its anywhere near his tank and he can see it he will spend many hours attempting to get to it. Other than that my discus peck at my freckles on my arm sometimes and my axolotls bite my cats tails/noses when they are on top of their tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 My hoplo is obsessed with bubbles. He likes swimming around the top of the ug filter, where all the bubbles come out. It's so cute. He is also very greedy, he will handfeed just so he can get to the food faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I've got a yoyo loach who spends hours looping the loop round a branch in the tank. The other loaches just look at him as if he's crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Smith Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I've got a black phantom tetra that I call Psycho. He's the sole survivor of a school and has been alone for nearly 2 years. He ignores every other fish in the tank, except 6 months ago we added 4 new tetra (exact species unknown, but look vaguely like Psycho, except they are not transparent and are now much bigger). Psycho has taken their presence as a personal insult and spends every hour of every day trying to intimidate the 'invadors' by fluffing, puffing, and eyeballing them. They just pretend he's not there! It's comical in the way they seem to deliberately avoid getting into a punch-up without actually acknowledging his existance. Especially now that they're twice his mass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
