Do Fish Play !!!!

[heath]

ok, I have never seen or heard of this but; my bristle tooth is playing (I think) he is very active, he will do laps of the tank and then come to the top of the water and shout water out of his mouth. He is healthy, eats like a pig and is very active..Has anyone else experienced anything like this before..I'm thinking he is bored and should buy him some toys,

What size tank is he in? Your 125, or 46?

 

[heath]

the 125... and he will slap the water too, tempted to lower the water level a bit until the canopy is built..

My Copperband does laps around the powerhead some days, over and over and over...

lol that big one used to splash me if he was hungry and they will swim in the high flow for fun even my seahorses do

ok, thanks..maybe he's training for the Olympics' . I'm tempted then to add an auto feeder for him..he certainly has personality, I love it...

When I stand by the tank my large Sohal Tang will back up to the surface and splash me with his tail if I don't feed him and he loves to chase and attack the mag float when I do the glass. It sits on the glass all day long and he doesn't look at it but as soon as I go to grab it he's all over it...

I read in advanced aquarist that saltwater fish are very smart and do play and recognize their environment - other than my hippo tang I agree
