What are your fish's worst habits?

[Industrial]

I am wondering if anybody has fish that have any bad habits that really frustrate you.

In my brackish tank, all of my fish like to poop in the small rock formations leading to a redecoration every big water change.

My oscar likes to get down in the sand and start flipping his whole body back and forth so sand goes everywere. He also thinks its funny to get mouthfuls of sand swim over to the fx5 intake and spit it in there, then turns around and looks at me.

Hahaha thats pretty funny.

My GT just uproots just about every plant in the tank and drags it all over the place like a big toy... Her tank is also in my bedroom right next to my bed, so when ever me and my husband are doing our thing she is constantly staring and rushing the glass its very distracting... But pretty funny.

Yeah I wouldn't mind it so much if all the sand that gets kicked up didn't go straight in my filter.

I hear yah. I always have sand in the filter. Yours is quite the caracter with actually spitting it in the filter tubes and then watching your reaction.

One of my GTs is in the living room in a 75 by himself and everytime someone walks anywere in the living room he's chasing them and charging the glass. If you go up to him he flares up and keeps charging the glass. Soon as you put your hand in there he's calm. He's gonna be going in the snake room though. Now my oscars completly different when my hands in the tank I got to watch him cause he will come flying out of no were and bite me.
