I was just wondering if anyone has any clever fish? or just plain crazy!
Its just I cannot believe the antics my two plecs get up to and unless you saw it with your own eyes it sounds so unbelievable. I wish I had a video camera because even I dont believe my own eyes sometimes. They seem to make up their own games in the tank....
Bat the airstone. I have an airline just dangling in the tank with an airstone on. My two plecs will push it around with their noses as far as the line will go then chase it and catch it in their mouths. They will also dangle upside down and bat it with their tails.
Peek a boo. My sofa backs onto the tank (not touching) and my two boys will duck down then pop up and call peek a boo. The two fish will swim to the front of the tank and look over the sofa when the boys hide and then duck down when the boys pop up. The kids get bored before the fish do.
Spray bar surfing. This is a new game as they have had a new spray bar. Both fish will sit with their tails on the bottom of the tank with their fins fully extended. The air bubbles from the spray bar get caught under their fins and fat bellies and eventually slowly lift the fish to the surface. As they near the surface they will flick away all the air under them and float back down and start again!
OI!!!. this is an annoying game they have usually at feeding time. They will swim hard against the glass up and down the tank so you hear their noses squeaking on the glass.
The largest one really loved being petted and will turn upside down to have his belly rubbed.
Now my mum, who is not really into fish, came to tea today. She bought the kids some sweets, the dogs some treats and two slices of ham for the plecs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this shocked me as when I first got them she said "bloody ugly things you want to get rid of them"
Do I just have crazy fish or does anyone else have any characters?
