Ash Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 OK, noticed that Quentin (my big male synspilum) was sitting staring square into the corner of the tank for like 15min+, not moving even when I walked past. Not distracted at all, no begging for food like normal, even though his tankmates were... Then I realised where he is looking, square at the TV?! He did it right through Neighbours & then The Biggest Loser -pretty much an hr solid - but he isn't doing it for survivor? Could he be copying what my wife & I were doing perhaps? Or was he getting funky reflections staring into the corner? This isn't the first time he's done this either, just the first time I've grabbed the camera. None of his tankmates do it, just him. Weirdness... I don't seriously believe he's watching TV, but it's spooky all the same! What other bizzare things have you caught your fish doing?

Eddie Salita Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Classic. I swear a mate of mines oscars do that too. My tinanti likes to play games. He sits on top of the power head, and jumps off and floats down into the 2400lph stream, blowing him right across the tank. Then he comes back and does it again and again. Its like a dog with his head out the window of a car.... Then he will team up with the other male tinanti and mess with the Kirbensis's head. He will sit in front of their cave taunting them, the male krib will chase him away. As soon as he does that the other male comes in and takes his spot. The krib will come back, chase him away too. By then the first tinanti has doubled back and is sitting in front of the cave again. They do this for an hour at a time. Just making the poor little krib dizzy.... . They must think its hilarious..... Jason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I had an epileptic Pepper-spot Cory once. It would be swimming normally, and then suddenly break into a violent shake, spinning so fast that it almost became blurry. It usually only lasted about 10 seconds, and then it would sink to the bottom of the tank and gulp flat out for another 5 minutes then swim off as if nothing happened. Poor thing, very funny to watch though. I quite often catch my 7 Clown Loaches lined up along the front of the tank watching telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! ← You can't blame the fish, why were they ever on in the first place ← I have to put my hand up & admit I watch both shows. Wife got me into them, been watching Neighbours for years now! At least I'll never watch Big Brother or Aust Idol, I have limits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubinzred Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Isn't this why we keep fish to qatch these crazy antics!!!!!! They are so cool to set and walk what they do, the way they treat every fish is the tank a different way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnatural_Selector Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Haha, my fenestratus looked just like that after I moved him, staring in scorn at the fish in the 7' tank that he ruled with an iron fist. He'd sit in the corner staring at them across the room. Nice syn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
