Anyone else have fish that do "odd" things?

I just might lose my mind too if I was cooped up in one room my whole life with no explanation.

even a beautiful room like that.....

My Foxface does the gulping thing, he'll sit up behind the powerhead and grab a mouthful of air and then "chew" on the bubbles as they escape through his mouth. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a "special" fish!

I have a Potters Angel that keeps trying to imitate my Clown pair by hosting a Fog Spawn. Its as funny as heck as it just can't seem to get that wiggle down.

My achilles goes to the surface and flips water out of the tank with his tail. I'm not talking a few drops, I'm talking great puddles on the floor.

my sailfin takes ''rides'' on the koralia every morning, i'm thinking to burn off the excess nori and brine shrimp calories lol, other than that, it's all the usual

Well, Trig plays peek-a-boo with my daughter. I caught them doing it...

Christy, How'd you get them blinds into the tank? And do the fish swim in, out the flutes??

LMAO, sorry, couldnt resist

I have an ongoing battle with my regal tang! every time i add a new frag to the tank it takes me about a week to get it placed where i want it and not where my tang wants it. I have tried to glue things down right away but the tang will get mad and pull relentlessly at the frag. If i just let him rearrange things and me putting them back where i want it everyday after about 5 to 7 days he will tire of the game and leave the new item alone. Its actually quite amazing at how large an item the tang can pick up and move

My foxface does exactly the same thing.

My coral beauty likes to try to get his head stuck in the powerhead intake.

I used to have a regal tang that attacked anything I put in the tank. Algae scraper, magnet, siphon hose, diatom hose, etc. However, he never went after me. Don't bite the hand that feeds you I guess.
