Fish are so much more aware of their surroundings than people give them credit for. They have their own personalities and can even recognize their owners. The goldfish I have try to munipulate me. I feed them in the morning before work and my wife lets my nephew help in the evening. So here's the cool thing: when I come home from work and the fish see me walk in the door, they go to the feeding spot in the tank but only if they don't see my wife on the sofa. If she's sitting across from them when I come home, they "know" I'm aware that she fed them. If she's off to the side and I walk in the door, they try to get another feeding. Fucking goldfish are just as munipulating as my kids.
Oh gosh
O.O
-.-
...AND WHAT THE FUCK YOU STARING AT??!!"
