purple tile fish

Does anyone have experience with a purple tile fish? I have had him for over 8 months thriving and doing great.
it does have a very weird personality, he spends half the day skimming the top of the water and spitting water in the air.
 
That is really funny, I have only witnessed that behaviour once before with a porcupine puffer when ever he got hungry.

I wish that was my fish, I just realized you live in ontario and so do I, if you ever get tired of that behaviour, just let me know and I will buy the fish from you

Thanks for posting the video

i have a purple and a skunk, they both do the exact same thing. these fish eat a lot! and i mean a lot! id also wager i feed my fish way way more than you and mine always appear hungry. the tilefish are far more likely to jump than the wrasse or dartfish ime. ive had to dig my purple out of the sump twice and the skunk jumps virtually every night. very cool fish though
 
thanks for the feed back - so what is the theory on this behavior? are they skimming the top feeding?
