so my smallest clown swimming on his/her side and kind of "convulsing" is a sign of submission to the larger two?? interesting - - i think it's called "posturing"? i thought it was more of "how you doin" type display {said in joey tribiani, from friends voice}

I do show signs of sumission like tipping my head and opening and closing my mouth in a non-threatning way. If I were to hold my mouth closed and come up on the tank slowely I think that may be like I were stalking them. I wave my head from side to side too.

LOL Tangerine! This is sooo true!

I did not realize how much I actually talk to them until my son came home for an extended visit. I guess I do a LOT, so I must look REALLY silly!

My cat gets all jealose when I talk to my fish. She starts pawing me to get my attention.

I used to live in a dome in the woods and the temp would get near freezing at night in the winter. My 5 cats would sleep under the covers with me and help keep me warm.
