Nuchal hump fun!

[Oii]

A couple of days ago I discovered if I drop pellets on my 1' midas's nuchal hump while its out of the water they will get stuck to it and he can swim around the tank with them all stuck to him.

Am I mean?

Does anyone else do this with their large cichlids?

The scenario seems similar to some fish who jumped into the carpet and returned later to the tank with dog hair and other stuff stuck on them.

lol I've been there. I can never find my nets so when I get new fish I drain their bags into my hand above a bucket. I've had a couple of them flop out of my hand and hit the floor on me. The worst is when my midas jumped through the lid of my tank and hit the floor, luckily it woke me up. I thought there was a raccoon in my house or something, I was scared lol.

what's the point?

can i tie up your arms, stick something to your forehead and laugh at your inability to remove it?

I think its pretty funny, not cruel really in any sense. It eventually falls off right?

No kidding! Can you imagine the wound to his psyche? I can't even contemplate how hard it will be to find a good therapist to work with him later.

:iagree:

Would you hold a dog underwater and attach clothes pins to it only to laugh while it coughs up water and yips in pain when you are done? The only difference is the dogs ability to voice it's oppinion.
