Anyones black convict attack their gravel Vac ?

[Sniperofgods]

Just wondering if anyone else's black convict attacks the bottom of the vac when they are vacuuming gunk off the gravel ? Mine did this today he went up the vac kinda got real close and looked at it and then boom hit and and did this a couple times and lost interest and then came back and did it again it was kinda funny. If he does it next time i am vacuuming i will post a video if my g/f is home so she can tape it lol.

Also there is no fry in the tank and i don't think they are planning on breeding but who knows lol he even got close to my hand when i was moving the plant after i knocked it out of the gravel.

I have an EBJD that's just over an inch long that did the same thing the other day.

Had me surprised, I hear most of them aren't like that (especially at that size) but mine seems to have a great personality already

My Syno Eupterus swims up the 30" tube from my python when I do water changes! I have to stop him cause he is nearly 7" and very fat and he clogs the tube and is very hard to get out!

I've had alot of CA's do this.
When I had my big RD (14"TL) he knocked the tube right outta my hand once.

If the vac gets close to their territory, he'll go right after it. Convicts are super territorial.
