Most annoying thing your fish do ;)

I bought some pitho crabs to eat hair algae/bryopsis.

They scale the glass using snails to pull the algae clip down. Cool crabs, but still...they have one job! Why can't they go after the easy to get stuff??

Eat all the food off the corals tentacles during coral feedings! Cleaner shrimp are the worst about it, always sticking their grubby little hands in the meat corals!

My clown just steals food from one of my nems and she doesn't even host it. It has a bottomless stomach.

one time my coral beauty jumped out of my tank into the overflow box when I was gone and I didn't know. It took us forever to find him but it was so funny when we did.

sand sifting goby doesn't care about any corals on sand bed.

neither does pistol shrimp as he pushes things around , and pushes corals upside down, in front of his cave,

One of my Clowns, the big one of course, bites my hand every time I put it in the water. And she wont give up no matter what, just circling around the hand waiting for a chance to attack, and it actually hurts!
Also my Melanurus wrasse picks up sand from the bottom and drops it on top of my corals, especially my plating monti and toadstool.

I recently re-homed my problem child. Diamond Watchman Goby who incessantly piled all the sand from around the sunken ship in my DT, to inside the ship. I even added an extra 10-15 lbs. of sand and he piled that inside too! Not your typical make a divot here, little impact crater there kinda Goby thing. I'm talking full-blown earth-moving terraforming menace.
Finally gave up and found him a new home. Shovel-On Builder Bob! Just not in my tank anymore.

I got a diamond goby about 2 weeks ago and I'm already thinking of rehoming him. Cool little fish but he's like a excavator. I knew they sifted sand and moved it around but he literally will get the 2" deep sand bed to BB and piles it all up onto my aquascape dead center of the DT. He is driving me nuts. I dont have coral yet but at this rate the only place I would be able to put them without getting buried is at the top, bottom half of the entire tank is useless pretty much with him doing this. I also added sand thinking it would get him to stop piling it in one spot so much nope just added to the problem.

Dying unexpectedly is pretty annoying

I have a second Diamond Goby in a different DT that's now doing exactly the same thing. It would take 8" of sand to prevent him from excavating to BB in spots.

Chase, splash and hog up the food

I don't have a QT set up yet and I need one so ive honestly been thinking about setting him up his own small tank and using that for my QT tank. Might not be the best idea using his tank as the QT tank but my gf didn't want me to get rid of him and he can't stay in my main DT once i start adding coral. Only option he's left me with cause I dont want 3-4 tanks to take care of especially one of them being for a single fish. Idk maybe make my kid a fish only tank and throw him in there. I just know I need him out of ther one he is currently in lol.

When my triggers see the little cup I use to feed the fish they all start spitting water out of the tank.

 

[SaltyT]

My diamond tail flasher gets so excited at feeding time when I lift the screen top he tries to jump out. Every. Single. Time.

 

[Lowell Lemon]

Jump out of the tank. Bummer!

 

[Lizbeli]

Zebra barred gobies splash water out out the tank several times a day. Thank goodness I have a lid.

Terminal male fairy wrasse is obsessed with chasing is reflection in the glass. Pretty much does it all day unless you walk up and watch Or feed the tank. Maybe he has OCD? Haha

 

[HB AL]

Picture this if you've had triggers before. When my Clown, Sargassum, Assasi and Blueline triggers see the food container in my hand the frenzy starts, biting the glass, swimming around like madmen. Then when I remove part of the lid they all calm down BUT they go to the surface and start spitting streams of water out of the tank till the food finally goes in. The spitting goes on nonstop longest I've timed it is 5 minutes, triggers gotta be some of the smartest fish people keep in a tank.

 

[NashobaTek]

They pee in the water all day! Lol

Seriously the Tang hides all the time and no one bullies it.

 

[jaxteller007]

The foxface swimming up and down the side of the tank all day.

Our golden head goby tried to bury our betta in a cave one time.

 

[Ionclad]

My female clown, splashes me every night. I'll check out the tank before I go to bed, and she splashes through the net top. She swims across the front of the tank on her side and sprays water all over me. She only does it at night after lights out.

 

[Lostreefin]

My Kole tang glass surfs while I watch the tank, he goes up and down on one side over and over. It must upset the other fish too, because they take turns getting in his path and try to throw him off, but he just goes right back to it.
