Sometimes, our fish can truly act strange. Maybe they are more active than normal, or maybe they are being weird towards another fish. I am wondering what is a time one of your fish started to act strange, what did they do, and do they still act that same way? Curious to see everyone's input!

Once clowns settle in they do inexplicable things all the time. I have a male clown who intentionally jumps into the overflow. The same overflow. No aggression no stress no nothing. Just wind up jump. Done it 6 or 7 times. Had to cover the overflows. It was like a little game

My longnose hawk was perching in the toadstool that hosts my perc. Not weird for the hawk, but weird that the clown was totally okay with it. It definitely was confused and didn’t know what to do about the fish twice its size, but then just joined it.

I guess I’m just used to clowns being evil.

I was showing a video off in another thread i found absolutely halarious...
It had a fight between a jawfish and diamond goby.

Here, i'll let u decide...


I wish my fish got into civil fights like this, and not the ones that end up with one dead.
