    Do you talk to your fish as if they can hear you? I do, and sometimes I feel weird about it. I tell them how pretty they are and tell them to quit begging every time I approach the tank, among other things. :)

    At least I'm not the only one. My family thinks it's a little weird.

    My fish refer to me as the "guy who feeds me"
    I paid big bucks to a fish-whisper because I did not hear my fish talking back to me like my kids do......

    j/k..

    lol, yes.. I also talk to the REFS when I watch foot-ball games when they make a bad call...

    The only time I talk to them is when I fed them and a few hours go by, I walk past the tank and they see me so they come to the corner begging and I say "You can't be hungry AGAIN!" They can actually see me in the kitchen which is next to the room I have the tank in and the second I come close to the fridge, they come to the corner of the tank and beg for food like a pack of dogs - funny S#!&

    It's when they talk back that you know you have issues.:mellow:

    I talk to my fish on a daily basis! I don't see anything weird about it at all. Whats the point of having pets if your not going to interact with them? And the whole fun of talking to the fish is that they DON'T talk back :D ;)
