Tank bafoonery that makes you laugh

[Lavey29]

We all have stuff spontaneously happen in our tanks that makes us laugh like the unexpected fish nip that makes you jump or something funny that your inhabitants do.

For me, my indigo dotty back keeps his bottom caves sand spotless. He is always scooping dirty sand with his mouth and spitting it outside the cave. Whenever snails crawl in there he picks them up with his mouth and carries them outside and literally throws them a couple inches away.

Tonight a tuxedo urchin has crawled into the skeleton of a large hammer that hosts my clowns and the fish are just staring at him with this look on their faces like what the heck is going on here. Making me laugh.

So what always makes you laugh with your tank?

That I can’t stick my hand in my tank anymore without worrying about my puffer biting me because he has poor vision and thinks everything I put in there is food.

My tilefish gets so excited for food when I approach the tank it starts to surface surf with its top inch completely out of the water.

Like the dog jumping in circles....lol...my fish get excited to when I take the food slot off the top.

Is he old is that why his eyesight is bad?

My hippo tang will go up to the surface, gulp a mouthful of air, swim back down releasing the air bubbles and all the other fish go after the bubbles thinking it’s food.

This thread is why I absolutely love fish.

Poor clowns hopefully he vacates their premises soon! Lol

My eels sticking their heads out from random places or seeing them all under one rock… I never know which Im going to get when I look in my tank!

Lamow

If I were a hippo tang

I don't really find it funny, but my Sailfin tang picks up sand and swims over to my MP40 and spits it into the wetside to make it grind. I go and shut it off and he'll leave it alone for a while. If I put the sponge covers on, the tang will pull them off.

I don’t think so. I’ve seen multiple people post that their vision isn’t that good. He has some sort of film over his eyes.

Makes you wonder how they survive then in the fierce ocean environment with poor vision but guess they develop other senses to help them like sharks do with poor eyesight.

Piggy back rides, tight rope walking and my tuxedo going around the tank informing the other members of the tank the current temperature.

Kind of like Nemo tossing the rock into the pump to shut it off to escape to the ocean.

It's funny but a bit annoying. Two of my urchins think they are Hercules.

The pectinia was too much

 

[PharmrJohn]

Most amusing thing I witnessed had to do with my mated pair of O. Clowns. They were in there little cave they staked out when the male decided it was time to get out for a little swim. The female said 'I don't think so!', grabbed him by the tail with her mouth and pulled him bodily back into the cave. He stayed right there.

This one also cracks me up. My horseshoe crab, Lady, cant get by one part of my rock structure. Takes her a minute to get around it. She does this all day long instead of going around. I mean its only a 300 gallon tank!!! Lol

My pencil wrasse in QT gets so excited when I enter the room it sticks its head above the water and spits water out of it's mouth. It can hit the LED!
