I swear my beta likes music. I was playing "crazy train" near the tank and he wouldn't leave the corner where the music was but when I took it away he started exploring the tank again. That guy has good taste.
Well, my cousin recently introduced a male molly to an all-female-molly tank, and tries to get their attention, but they always stick up their mouths and swim away like saying, "You're not good enough for me!"

In my 5gal I have such inqusitive guppy fry
I have a whole bunch of small snails(I think their pond snails), I was checking up on my littleones and found a snail floating in the middle of the tank and this air bubble was floating above him lol reminded me of that ballon movie, he would just float from one side to another, and at least one of my fry following. Most likely trying to figure out how the snail was floating. Eventually someone popped his bubble. Lol

I could swear he was smiling in return...
Yeah, I heard that oscars are not the brightest bulb in the box. Ha haMy Oscar always swims in reverse and bashes into the other fish I swear I think she does it purposely. It's the funniest thing she would follow the convicts or Pleco around going backwards!
Have had many fish over the years so I'll just do some highlights of funny things they've done
Back when I had Oscars they always loved their ping pong ball, nothing on tv one night thought I'd give them their ball, as usual game on unfortunately I forgot to lower the water level. The monster plec in with them at the time decided to get in on the action, up flew the lid on the tank ping pong went flying!! Luckily it didn't break anything since it left with a great amount of speed.
Missy (chocolate cichlid) is always a character, once in a while she'll get a live feeder or 2, she's a big girl and speed isn't her friend so watching her be "stealthy" is always funny. Or if one gets away down into / or under something in the tank tends to push her buttons and the tank is redecorated. If she see's the "lil blue net" the fish dance is on, she can see most of the other tanks from hers so my bad I pick it up sometimes just to mess with her. One of the other things she does if I walk in the house with a small paper bag its usually her bi-weekly dozen crickets, she gets wound if that's possible for a fish and her tankmates head for cover.
All the fish know the turkey baster LOL I feed the defrosted frozen foods & decapsulated brine with it. But they know even the shy fish (there aren't many of them) are dancing and several of the old timers eat directly from it.
Mr Uaru likes to play eskimo kisses with my youngest from his tank, quite funny to watch. When there was a pair of angels in with him, they'd spawned and had free swimmers that he kept trying to steal, he'd literally work up the courage swim into them grab a mouthful go to the other end of the tank and try and get them to stay under him like uaru fry do. Didn't work well but he did try then the angels would gang up on him and take them back needless to say the pair moved out of his tank and he's babysitting some young fish.

Has happened to me the odd occasion, but always fit as a fiddle and I guess thats like his defence mechanism lol
