Well, whenever I put a algae wafer in the tank for the algae eater, my 12 africans will attack it, but they are so small it doesnt fit in their mouth so it looks like they are playing rugby with the wafer b/c they will chase one another around the tank and chip away at the wafer until it is gone...its quite funny to watch imo....what about you guys?
 
i have a tank with a flower horn cichlid

i got him/her some stem plants (w/c wasn't a good idea off course), well it didn't bother the plant the first day, but next morning.. i was surprised, the cabomba was still planted alright, but it was upside down.. roots on top and its top part buried in the gravel..

i replanted it and caught him in the act of replanting it upside down, it did that only twice though, probably got tired and just shredded the cabomba into pieces (it was a bundle, about 15 stems) :dance2:
 
mY rED DEVIL USED TO DIG HOLES ALL DAY IN THE GRAVEL, AND I'D GO COVER IT UP AND HE WOULD GO RIGHT BACK TO THAT SPOT AS SOON AS I PULLED MY HAND FROM THE WATER TO DIG IT RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN...NEVER KNEW WHY?!
 
my oscar ribs the termometer of the tank and swims with it in its mouth for about 2 min and then drops it once i but it back it does it again
 
My male A. cacatuoides will grab mouthfuls of fry out of the main school, carry them 10in away, drops them, and watches over them just like the female (as if to say, hey this motherhood thing ain't that hard). Only, he gets distracted after about 30 sec and wanders off. The mom then comes over and takes the fry back to the main group. Five minutes later the dad is at it again. Mind you he never actually goes back to check on what happened to the first batch of fry he kidnapped.

pOPS IS TRYNA TEACH THEM HOW TO BE OUT ON THEIR OWN....LOL
 
I trained my electric catfish to sit in the palm of my hand and even go through rings I made with my hand just for food!!! Sometimes, when he would swim through the ring, I would lightly grip him to remind me what his name is for!! lol!
He died a few months ago :sad: :sad: I should have a new one in just a couple weeks, but this one had personality a really trusted and liked me.
 
I feed my oscars dried krill and the smaller one with grab all the krill at once and pack his mouth so full he has to swim around with it hanging out of his mouth til he works it down.
 
I trained my severum to eat from my hand so I could pat him and push him around, he is dead now though. but when he was younger he would swim as quick as he could to the filter stream and then stop swimming and get blow back, but he was always upside down. he learnt to do this upside down and hook back down in behind the heater between the sucktion (spl?) caps and then back into the stream, he would do this over and over.

kinda like a planes loop-d-loop a head first dive straight down and pull out of it.

ahh good times
