anybody else have really stupid fish before?

My old feeder that i bought at 1" and raised to 8" before i sold him was a nut. He had a 40g to himself, and would always put about 10 gravel bits in his mouth and swim to the other side of the tank and spit them out, and repeated until the tank was bare on one side, and a mountain on the other, then he repeated the process for 24/7/365 unless he was eating. Sucks that i had to sell him because of his size, but he went to a 100g pond and sold for a whoppin 40$, and i bought him for 35 cents

He doesn't sound stupid, just tediously keeping busy! How long did it take him to get that large? And I guess you never had to clean that gravel!

He took about 2 years i think. I figure he had super advanced ADDHD. That, or someone slipped caffeine and sugar into his food:hmm3grin2orange:

I cant figure out why he ALWAYS did that.

He got so big that i would feed him live crickets. His favorite food.

I had some goldfish in a tank a while back, and I added 5 white clouds. When I netted the 1st white cloud to the tank, the goldfish thought it was food and nipped at it. I thought it was funny, and the white cloud is still alive today.

my betta used to go after the white clouds, but now he just gives up. They out swim him too easily
