Tell your funny fish stories

With pictures!

But i admit i don't have any pictures or videos of these antics. I just got done feeding my green terror and Giant danios, about 5 minutes ago, the Giant danios started schooling really tightly. The green terror being the "terror" he is would swim right through the school and all the danios would spaz out like crazy. They are both great fish...

The last pet store i worked at had a huge stars and stripes puffer in one of the display tanks, one day while i was scrubbing algae, it spit what felt like 5 gallons of saltwater right into my mouth while i was looking away talking to a customer. I was on a ladder kinda leaning over the tank. It surprised me so much i almost feel off the ladder.

I almost drowned getting water in my mouth starting a siphon, When I had twist I get my hair caught on a hook under my tanks stand; and couldn't get out.

my 3 spot gourami was feeding from the bottom when i fed my ghost knife and my ghost knife attacked the gourami and held onto its tail for about half the length of the tank, it scared the hell out of the gourami.

I've drank more than enough tank water when starting a siphon than I can remember. Worst one was getting a whole taste of saltwater from a tank that was left with water but no filter etc. for a couple of weeks when i got around to taking the water out...it was pretty gross.

I kept a green aro in an 8ft 240 in my office way back when. The staff used to make a point of visiting about a half hour after I fed crickets or floating foods to the aro. That half hour was about the time it took for the aro to "process" all the air it swallowed during its' feeding. He used to leave a trail of 3-5mm bubbles from one end of the tank to the other for a couple of minutes. I've never had another fish that displayed this trait so frequently and faithfully. I was tempted to add a sign beneath the office sign stating; "The Incredible Farting Fish".

That's the best thing ever.

My fahaka puffer got his tail beat by a synodontis decorus cat. Never seen a fish look so shocked before. The cat's still the king of the tank but my fahaka is still my baby lol.
