and also you give them food
One of my Bowfins (Grumpy) tank is located right next to my mini beer refrigerator. This bowfin has the personality of my Oscars and Gars! Totally awesome.
It gets super excited every time a beer is grabbed! It also starts swimming north> south> north at the front glass and opening and closing it's mouth when my best buddy goes near the tank. I guarantee it can remember many months ago when it was much smaller and my buddy did the Duece Bigelow (fishy-fishy) finger thing and actually suck his finger in my bowfins tank. It took milliseconds for the juvenile Bowfin to puncture tiny holes in my buddies fingernail and drawing blood (as well as laughs from the rest of us).
Grumpy letting us know who's the boss!

Mine like when I sit in front of the tank naked, but I think there's a thread about this already.
My africans cichlids only want food...if they could they would drag me inside the tank and eat me!!!!
My Fahaka... coudln't care less about me.. but loves my husband. He usually gives in and feeds him bloodworms(his fav) where I make him eat his clams and snails. BUt my husbands Aba aba always tries to eat out of my hand ( much to my dis-like) and will hide from my husband. THe Gar just eye us to see if we have anything for them... if not they look disgusted. Only the new guy comes to the top and does the "feed me I'm cute!" puppy wag.
My short-bodied jade goby and my hoplosternum littorale duo always wiggle and beg. It's very adorable.
I love fish that act happy to see me. My favorite fish ever was a red severum that I owned last year. My computer desk is right by my tank and he would always swim up and down when I was using my laptop. He was cooler than any other fish I've owned. With my other fish, if they saw me feeding another tank they would be more relaxed, but my sev would act all hyper whenever I was within 20 feet.
