what do your fish do?

[Garaman]

I had a Panther grouper that would swim into your hand and let you pet/message him, the whole time he would just lay there and sort of quiver and I rub him down, and an Undulatus trigger that would spit water at me from the gap between the glass top and the filter. took forever to figure out why I kept feeling water hit me while on the computer ( the tank is about 8ft from my chair)

well my oscar loves to beg for food,other than that, she likes to fight with my male oscar through my glass dividers,continually smacking into the glass trying to bite him.my pleco likes to get between them and flare up to break up the fight.

My pacus follow me when I walk by the tank. When I do water changes, they nip at my hand and bump the syphon untill I pet them. They love it, and push back against my hand when I pet them. My florida gars like to be pet, but to a much lesser extent. My GT and CK bolth hate me and try to draw blood whenever possible. If I put my face against the tank in front of the CK's cave, he will try to attack me through the glass.

My fish like to hide. All the live long day.

GSP(s)...watching me and begging for food *tank is only 4' from computer*.

Oscar...swimming laps around the tank, begging for food or bullying the jag.

Jag...swimming up and down the side of the tank, digging and rearranging his area, shaking head back and forth (not sure what that's about?)

Thanks.

do they beg for food like a dog?

But that's the typical behavior of fish in general.

Me? My loaches just learned to feed on my hand after seeing the SAEs and discus doing that. Got an almost sharp bite from a yoyo while it was attempting to grab a bloodworm.

my mbuna tank pay no attention to me if I do not feed them right away. It is as if I do not exist to them...if I feed them they eat and then ignore me... My other fish pay little attention after a while but at first they are either hungry or they are scared of me...

then the Nandus Nandus goes "ok now either you give me more feeders or i'm gunna eat some of your other fish damn it!!!" (then he eats my non-feeder fish)
meanwhile my senegal is like "hmmm i'm gunna go eat a feeder and some shrimp.....wait i need a gulp of air, wait i think you are lookin at me, i better stair you down"
then the needlefish is all like "ya thats right i'm a needlefish i'm just gunna swim arounda bit"
