Got a yellow longnose butterfly a few months back and it sticks its long snout out of the water and shoots water out when it sees me in anticipation of getting fed. Wondering what other interesting things I don't know about other fishes unique behaviors?

Yellow long nose butterfly
- - flips upside down and mounts a mean defense with top fins stiff when bothered
Copperband- Much less shy than I had imagined
Maroon clowns- much less aggressive than I was expecting
hippo tang- loves riding strong flows from powerheads across the tank
flame angel- harasses my female maroon clown more than the bicolor
bicolor angel- how much angels weave in and out of the rocks
royal gramma- that they grew as big and swim sideways a lot
peppermint goby- the size of food it eats relative to its size is impressive.
lemon chromis
