What's The Weirdest Thing You've Seen

I have this one Metae Corydoras that has slept head facing down against a filter intake tube (not at the intake but on the tube), i've found him resting upside down on the water surface, on leaves of my amazon swords, and today I found him upside down on the gravel bed and I thought to myself "uh oh hes dead" i go to try and scoop him out and he just starts to swim (as if i woke him up) and goes for a shrimp pellet and starts scarfing it down.

I've had a male betta jump out of his tank (hes not in a community tank with a lid) 2 times and both times he dried up like a cracker and I thought he was dead. i went to pick him up and he starts flapping so I throw him back in the tank and hope he recovers and in a day or 2 he looked quite normal again.

I have this one cory cat that gets excited when he eats and swims in corkscrews and splashes the water and scares the crap out of the fish at the top.
 
My ex-girlfriend's betta jumped out of it's tank and I found it two days later. It was stuck to the envelope it landed on, and most definitely DEAD. I've Heard some of those betta stories though. Also seen bettas survive some NASTY tanks/bowls that were more algae than water.

My pl*co and iridescent both "breach" at the surface of the tank. Sometimes so loudly at night it'll wake me up in the next room thinking "uh oh one of them finally knocked the cover off".

I heard it the other night and when I went to do a water change the next day I found the floating thermometer smashed in the tank. Luckily they only broke the outer glass so no mercury got in my tank.
 
Unbeaten?

I still think out of all of these posts, the pl*co riding crayfish takes the cake, I wish I got that on film....
 
Mine was just last night. My Dalmatian mollies poped and gave a new tank full of fry, while searching for them before Mama got to them but I found 4 fry hiding under the front shell of my hugh Apple snail.I think neither knew what the other was! HEHEHE
 
The pleco riding cray sound too funny to believe, but, whwn was the last time you saw a freshwater stingray with 2 tails???

I have a reelfish with my two rays and all of them go crazy at feeding time.

About 3 months ago, when feeding tubifex worms, the reelfish was under one of the rays and bite one of his pelvic fins. The ray started swimming like crazy and the reel fish was still sticking to him.

I saw the entire episode and since the reelfish is almost the same color as the ray and at that time the same size as his tail, it looked like the Wonderful two tailed stingray from Outer Space.

Other day, that reelfish did the same to the other ray, but did not get a good grip.

This other thing happened just two days ago. In the same tank, I have a clown knife fish. I put some feeder fish in the tank and waited for the show. Among the feeder group, came this small brown "gold"fish that was swimming around the knife. I've never seen that knife so still, and when he was going to attack, the ray came and fell over like wrestling him and waited till the feeder was away.

Rays are always doing things around, thay never stay still and always are doing mess in the tank. GREAT FISH
 
My bichirs are really odd. The first time I went to clean my whole tank up(full water change and syphon the gravel) I expected that catching them would be some trouble. So I removed my plants and decorations and put my net in my tank. My biggest one swam right into the net and sat there, so I put him in my Q-tank and did the same thing. I put the net in and the 2 others swam right in. Maybe they thought it was a cave or something.

Another thing with them was when I added my snails. All 3 would follow them around sniffing at them like dogs to when their curious. They never bit at them just followed them, ALL day for 2 days. They finally started swimming around again now though.
 
Weirdness Today - Agressive WC?

Not as weird as my cowboy cray, but still funny.

When I vacuum my tank (which is often because of this pl*co and his cursed regularity.. too much fiber?), my pl*co and iridescent (both over 8") are terrified of my arm and the hose. I have become very good at working around them, especially the iri, because when he spooks he moves so fast it's scary (and I'm afraid he'll hurt himself).

Today I felt something banging into my arm and at first I thought it was a floating plant. After realizing it was too regular the be a plant caught in the current, I looked on the other side of my arm (expecting to see my green barb), and there is my largest white cloud, nipping at my arm. Some Cojones for such a small fish...
 
It might not be wierd, but its pretty entertaining:

Whenever I turn on my lights, my kuhli loaches zoom around the tank, they are sooo fast, up, down, all over like they are possessed. :devil:
