What is the weirdest fish you have?

[Gumbies R Us]

Sometimes we get a fish that is just plain weird. Maybe it is the way it looks, or maybe it is how it interacts with its environment. I am wondering what is that one weird fish you have? Curious to know everyone's input!

Royal gramma. Crazy little thing's excavating all the sand beneath my rockscape.

Mine started doing that too when I had one. I had no idea they did that before I got him. Sadly he turned himself to jerky by jumping out of the tank. Also something I didn't know they'd do.

My current weird fish is my yellow assessor basslet. He often swims sideways or upsidedown. Lately he's taken to being more of a morning person and goes to sleep for most of the day while the other fish are active.

I also just ordered 3 skilletfish from biota. Those guys are pretty odd too.

My Indigo Dotty back is a meticulous house cleaner. He has OCD. He scoops sand in his mouth and spits it out front of his cave house to clean the debris. He uses his tail to swift the sand around in his cave house. He picks up snails by the shell with his mouth and literally throws them out of his house but he is a model citizen with other fish and always invites friends over to hang out.

Seagrass file fish
Looks a bit alien to me…

Yellow banded possum wrasse. He just floats around eyes going back and forth. The way they swim is interesting and watching it poke its mouth into rocks and crevices.

Those are very strange looking fish but look pretty cool though

Grunt my niger trigger! He dives in the sand in his corner and uses his fins like a propeller and throws sand all over and out of his corner!

Lawnmower blenny

My clingfish. It looks weird, acts weird, eats weird, and swims weird. For me weird is cool.

My barnacle blennies were little weirdos! Some of my favorite fish!

You are kidding, right, all my fish are weird. Let's talk weird and beautiful, the weedy scorpionfish(Rhinopias frondosa) with his buddy another weirdo, the barbfish(Scorpaena brasiliensis). Now, let's talk weird and creepy, the sea goblin(Inimicus didactylus). And one that many are familiar with, here's the most popular one; the warty, wartskin angler(Antennarius maculatus). Yeah they not only look weird, but act weird also, talk about personality.

Unfortunately mine jumped while I was away and the lid was left open but these bioluminescent ribbon gobies are very weird
