My peacocks gudgeons are like dogs. As soon as I walk into the room, they come to the front and watch me. As soon as I open the lid on the tank, they come to the top for their food, and eat it directly out of the baster (while all other fish are afraid of the baster).
And they run like hell from the net. How they know the difference between the baster and the net is impressive to me. They are both large foreign objects in their habitat.
After spawning when I remove the eggs to the fry tank, the male will stay around the area where he was guarding the eggs before the hand of god came and removed them. After a day, he'll continue as normal and swim around happily and begin to court the female again.
I freakin' love these fish.
Here is a pic of my male:

this is soooo true... I have acctually thought about putting my fishes food in a net when I feed them... that way when i need to catch them for some reason-- they will just come to the net and there wont be any problems lol
