1. Cleaning	2. Feeding	3. Hiding/resting
All fish have parasites. They can get rid of them by "begging" other fish-cleaners to bite them off their skin. Look for fish in strange positions, such as holding still. They're not sick, just signaling.	You might see a fish eating chopped food, nibbling at stalks of lettuce, or scraping at the bottom.	Look in the nooks and overhangs of rocks. Fish may not always be swimming. Some are resting quietly and are active later.
4. Schooling	5. Territory
A school is a group of 3 or more fish of the same kind swimming together.	Some fish stake out one spot as "theirs." Other fish that come too close - even divers - will be nipped and chased away.
