Did you people experience getting any affection from a fish?

Question

Dogs use to jump, I heard stories from affective rabits, but how is it with fish?

Answer 1

They swim excitedly at the front glass when the owner comes into view (and yes, even a goldfish can tell the owner from other random people).

That's about it -- it's a desire for a pinch of food, and not real affection. Fish that don't care for their young (and that's most of them) can't be expected to care about you.

Answer 2

Yes people can get infections from certain bacterias most commonly associated with saltwater aquariums, but it is rare and usually only if you have a large open wound when you're hands are in the tank. So it isn't really from your fish, but what's in the water.

Answer 3

I have a very large saltwater fish tank and my fish do recognize me. I have one fish that hasn't come out since I left him with a stranger for 10 days. I think he is still mad at me.

Answer 4

Cichlid fish are very personable and will ask to be fed. Some fish if not to shy will let you hand feed them, like koi and goldfish.

Answer 5

when every i come in the room my fish jump out of the tank or comes and looks @ me :}

Answer 6

fish do recognize people, and will come to the front of the tank to "beg" for food.

Answer 7

Fish are for eating.

Answer 8

I have 2 bettas ( in separate glasses)

they are pretty still most of the day.....but they " flip-out! " whenever someone comes into the room......swimming rapidly, displaying....

they're looking for food...but we like to think they missed us!

Answer 9

Oh yes I have great affection for my fishie...

I think you mean infection.... and no I doubt it
