Do your fish beg?

[Onewolf]

Whenever I stand in front of the tank the 2 clowns and Midas Blenny are front and center asking to be fed. Even the new guy (Arc Eye Hawkfish) is getting in on the begging act. I normally feed them three times per day, but they're always hungry.

yep my tangs do the same thing love it

 

[ying yang]

Yup just went to tank to change some frozen water in bottles and all my 8 fish come out and hovering around the place i usually feed them.
Even moby the goby came out onto sandbed waiting lol

 

[hllb]

Constantly....

 

[NowGlazeIT]

Oh yea it’s awesome! I get to see everyone at feeding time and just before it.

 

[Patientman]

Just EVERY TIME I'm in front of the tank!

 

[Geoslang]

Yes! Almost all of them... Chromis are the most aggressive. Will follow my every movement. Clowns come to the surface and will let me pet them (I don't...). They definitely know I'm the gravy train.

 

[mindme]

Yeah, pretty much.

They also keep track of where I am at all times and generally hang out on that end of the tank more. If I'm in a room where I'll come out on the right side of the tank, they'll be there, and vice versa. They still swim around the other parts of the tank, but that is where most of them are.

My clowns eat out of my hand...if you count them biting my hand.

They have their own tank(29g), just a mated pair along with now 3 RBTAs they call home. If I put my hand into any part of the tank, they'll come across the tank to bite me.

They never leave the anemones otherwise. Never. Not even more than a few inches. But if I put my hand in there for any reason, that is the one thing that will drag them away from the anemones.

Oh My God! My Midas Blenny and the 2 clowns are the ones asking for food every time as well. Lol

 

[Gtinnel]

It's my Midas blenny also who follows me around if I am near the tank waiting for food. When I put food in the tank if my fingers get in the water I have to drop the food quickly or else the midas blenny will nip at then trying to get the food.

 

[Sharkbait19]

I don’t think my clown or any of my cichlids have gone a day without begging…
Kinda hard to observe the tanks naturally if all they do is follow me around lol.

 

[Little c big D]

Clowns are little fattys I swear. Not only do they follow me, if something blows up, a piece of sand... anything. They attack.

 

[James_O]

Yessir! The clowns bed like crazy. I can stick my face over the tank and they will come to the surface and beg. It’s super cute. ;Hilarious;Bucktooth;Cat

 

[Pistol Peet]

Absolutely they also know exactly when it's dinner time.

 

[flashsmith]

All of mine will start "pacing" about an hour before feeding time in the evening. Not as bad as my 3 Great Danes though
