Do you talk to your fish?

My clarkii bit me and held on today for the first time, I actually felt his teeth. He got a talking to for that one!

 

I was cleaning the side of the tank near my maroon and his anemone. Those little suckers can bite hard He got a talking to as well, lol.

 

Oh yeah.....I do that. One particular time I came home from work and stood in front of the fish tank (the first thing I do when I get home). I said to them, "Do my boys need to be fed?". My son and his friend, not seeing me, yelled "YES!!!!!" from the other room. So I fed 'em.......Then I fed the kids.

 

I am just starting to feel my maroon's teeth. She is very protective as well.

 

Mine actually seems to know when I feed the anemone as he moves out of the way and watches my hand. Kinda cool. It's also neat to see him feed it when I pop some mysis in the tank.

 

Mine is finally at the point where he will feed his anemone, if I drop in a big piece of food, or if there's a big piece of dried algae floating around he will take it straight to it. I always make sure to tell him how he's such a good fish for doing so.

 

Fish talking huh... well my gf named all our fish and she talks to them all the time; literally like has a conversation about her day... maybe it helps her vent haha.

My maroon actually has two BTA and shes very agressive when any fish comes to her anenome. She once attacked a snail for about 10 minutes until finally the snail slithereed away.

 

Its funny this topic came up just they other day I was making daisy(she's a dog) pick up her toys and put them in her room. I stopped by the tank and asked the fish if they were hungry. My mom was visiting ,and she said OMG she talks to the dog and the fish.

 

I get mad when things aren't going right but don't expect them to answer back. Now my weinner on the other hand I expect to talk back. That is a dog if you sickos were wondering.

 

i talk to my fish to helps me get to now them betty sometimes i feel liek there watching me and listening
