Mine do. My giraffe hap cichlid will swim in the front, left corner of the tank looking right at the TV. That is the only place the fish can "see" the TV and he will stay there for several minutes without moving and watch the movie with me. He'll get bored I guess and swim about the plants but then return there.

Are you sure he's not just looking for you? A lot of fish will recognize the people who feed them. Mine go nuts every time I walk past the tank.

My oscar loves t.v.

Hell act dead when I dont feed him or watch t.v. at night. Hell get all pale and he lets his body drift around and he gets stuck on the filter intake. But when I shake the food up hell darken up and swim on the glass and he will be all better. He is a little off. lol.

lol

Mine go nuts too when I walk past the tank. Lately they've become skiddish though because I took my Acei out and stripped her recently so they think I'm going to net them.
