What's my peacock eel doing?

Bought a peacock eel from Jansans Henderson Store today on the way back from work.

Ideally I would buy it after my neon tetras and swordtails are sold but today is the most convenient time.

Anyway it settled in very quickly, the guy in the shop told me it was very friendly and doesnt hide much would turned out to be true.

I notice it sometimes nudges other fish with its sharp nose, especially an albino cory, but other fish as well, what's it doing? Just being playful? The other fish don't try to move or swim away so I assume it doesn't hurt.

Any ideas?

Cheers

maybe it wants to give them a kiss

or a hongi........ ok

well, my one does that too, im not sure, when competing for food, it does it, when there is no food, it does it also

but other fish doesnt seem to car, it nudges them, and they ignore it, and the eel goes away and eats and minds its own business.

when the jar nudges, everyone takes notice

:D
