What's your dumbest fish?

[wickedfish]

We all have one that just does some really dumb crap. Tell me what your Failure fish is and what he/she does.

I'll go first. My whipline wrasse jumps out of the tank every time there's a feeding frenzy.
Once into the 6105 and came out with a few scales missing. All I saw was red scales fly out of the 6205 modded opening.

If it wasn't for the screen lid on top, that fish would be deceased.

It has so much luck, it once got on top of the lid and bounced until it went into the powerhead drilled hole in my euro bracing.

Lol..mine is my coral striped cat fish.....swims really fast around my tank (46 bow front tank)...to fast to the point it sometimes crashes into the rocks or glass...lol

 

[wickedfish]

I had a Melanurus that would swim in circles around a powerhead for hours.

Stupid emperor angel!! Might go spear fishing for him in my tank one of these days

Mystery wrasse. He chases his tail for an hour everyday, gets spooked by pieces of food flying by him and bumps into rocks flashing away, turns blue when hes hungry, and is scared of my peppermint shrimp. Lots of personality for a fish i think.

Def. my black striped damsel! He has been living in the overflow area for the last 3 month.. How he got there I have no idea and I don't have and plans for a breaking him out anytime soon lol!

 

[budythelion]

Mine was definitely yasha gobies! They would just hide and starve themselves. Or when they burrow with my pistol shrimp they stayed burrowed with him and then starved themselves. Took me 3 tries to get one smart enough to come out and eat!

Melanurus here, He continues trying to jump out of the tank. About every 30 minutes I hear a thump... its him hitting the screen ........ He also likes scooping up sand , then spits it out all over my coral .... dang fish.... lol

 

[vonsinnr]

my alge goby swims in tight circles around a lower rock then pops up and watches the sand he just swirled up settle back down....for hours.... all day.

 

[reefes pieces]

My borbonious Anthias. He gets confused when its feeding time and doesn't know which piece of food dropping down to go for. He eats but let's my PBT scoop up all the good pieces. Bolts for a piece of food then stops and says hey there's another one. The PBT says thanks for pointing that one out! Chomp!

My sargassum trigger. He eats anything. My Vlamingi sleeps under a rock, and his tail sticks out....looks like a piece of nori sticking out. He always tries to eat his tail. Same with my finger. When I stick my hand in the tank, he will swim close by...eyeing my hand.... He's bitten my finger before too.

[cymaster007]

My cleaner wrasse spends countless hours trying to clean me through the glass all day.... then when fish come up and actually want cleaning he avoids them like the plague

 

[lowbudget]

my yellow corris wrasses they always jump out

 

[Chefzilla77]

My yellow eyed kole tang... he swims in circles all day around my magfloat.

Saltys in corona I think. Maybe riverside. It's a small hole in the wall fish store. The Guy is pretty nice though. And I paid $140. Which is pretty cheap for a sargassum
