YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO YOUR FISH??? What the real experts say!!!

[Mr Cypher]

I found myself telling my Tangs to knock it off when they started fighting the other day my wife gave me the craziest look lol but I do talk to my blue Jaws when they start the conversation

Yes trying to remember what I was saying. The urchin has been carrying a small snail for 3 days. I do remember telling the snail I'll save you though

I think you’re good! On a snail timeline, I believe you have a least 3 months?

I've had this conversation. "You can't have that!" as I gently remove the snail from the urchin's grasp lol.

I don’t talk to them but once they see me with the red solo cup they flock to the glass intelligent creatures to say the least.

Haha! Mine do the same! They see me with any red solo cup they go crazy

Was more worried about getting stabbed.

This one had a real good grip on it. Was more worried about getting stabbed.

If cursing at a fish counts as talking to them then I guess I talk to my clowns and hogfish alot!

Right? Once I told them….. “YOU’RE all fresh water FISH!!!! We didn’t talk for weeks.

 

[Obsessed324]

I tell my fish they are beggars all the time, and I call my hawk fish bad names for flipping my snails over.

Sometimes I will just sit & watch the tank with my face up close - my new female clownfish has taken to swimming up to eye level right with me & we just observe each other.

she also swims up to the empty food ring, looks at it, looks back at me, looks at the empty food ring, then back at me again

You nailed it!!! Tell me the greatest “symbiotic relationship” in this hobby isn’t us any them!;Shamefullyembarrased

Why would I talk to my fish? All the voices in my head keep me busy enough... Especially the one that speaks Spanish. I have no idea what it is saying......


But seriously, yes I talk to them. Clowns get cussed most of the time, lawnmower blenny is useless and tangs just look like they are talking back sometimes.

Crazy!!!!! I have the same Spanish voices in my head!!! Usually around lunchtime….. words like, burrito……..taco………enchilada !!!!!

 

[Glenner’sreef]

I always talk to my tanks, and my blennies judge me for it

I think they’re jealous! They are the jr.high/high school version of humans. The whole popularity complex thing. ;Inpain

 

[DrZoidburg]

What kind of strikes me though. Ex: body language 80% (don't know exactly) of things people say are not "said". What do we put off or pick up from our fish.

I recently got a foxface that is in QT. Today I went to get the clip out with the algae sheet and it instantly sat on the clip. Obviously I wasn’t going to fight a foxface for the clip and was telling it for 2 minutes to please get away from the clip.

Finally the wife came down and asked who the heck I was talking to.

Maybe time to buy the wife a fish? Can you imagine the conversations? Lol
