    Some of my Ottos are so lazy, they liked to be sucked against the internal filter inlets so they dont have to suck with their mouths

    I had some rather large tinfoil barbs some time ago that would jump and hit the lid if i was feeding. Every time i walked past they would jump like mad thinking it was feeding time. I had to drop the water level at some stage as I was afraid they would hurt them selves.

    When i still had Oscars they would often go down to the bottom of the tank when it's feeding time,as soon as i added food they would jet up and take a bite and jet back down usually splashing allot of water out with their tails.

    My angels do the same some times, but my ghost knife also does it and its a bit scary to see how big his mouth is and that he could fit my thumb in there.
