Any fishkeepers here? Saltwater or freshwater

This was interesting. The laser pointers that you play with cats/dogs. I was playing with the cats and thought, what the heck, and pointed it into the tank. Dang the upside down cats, the danio, the sliver dollars, the dempesys, the parrot nose cichlids were all chase the laser pointer

Plecos didn't give a crap

Not as much as a cat or dog crazy, but were stimulated by it. Funny.

They are much more intelligent than people give them credit for. They each definitely develop their own personality for sure. The older they get, the more so. Some are grumpy and more agreesive. Some are cool and laid back. It's crazy seeing the difference in a fry once they get big enough to show some personality...

Plecos on the other hand, I don't think they've ever evolved enough to understand much past "Smell something, try to eat it." They haven't changed much in millions of years..
