Do you guys play with your fish?
Lately, mine seems to be fascinated with my finger and not with his uber cool hidey and formation and plant as much!
when i stick my head over the top of the tank by the corner he darts for it and lays up where the corners of the tank meets and blows a few bubbles at me.
he tries to jump up real high to catch food off my finger, but he doesnt seem to understandt he laws of refraction yet..
so he misses usualy unless i put my finger closer to the water.
I have this tiny little round leaved thing that i sometimes push aroundt he surface of his water and he kind of looks at it but doesnt do much else with it.
When i put my finger in there he usualy darts at it and tries to nip it thinking its food, but if i do it enough he figures out its not food and goe sup to it and keeps putting his "lips" up against it! hahaah.
Then i usualy move the finger around and he'll flare his gills at me and i move my finger around him in a clockwise motion and he follows it. sometimes i can pet him too but that doesnt happen usualy as he wants to chase my ifinger.
do you guys do anything wtih your fish? or do they play with you on your own?
I cant believe how smart these little guys are, for such small brains they are so much more alert to their surroundings, even things that arent in the water.
