Can my fishies see me through the glass?

[asudavew]

Mine go nutz when I get within 15 feet of the tank.
No doubt.. they can see me!

DizzCat, don't feel that you are alone in talking to your fish. I likewise talk to mine all the time. What would be worrisome is if they started talking back!

[DizzCat]

Ever wonder what they would say? Would we be praised or be in deep trouble? LOL

"Why are you feeding us pellets that have been in the refrigerator for two years?!"

"Hey! Human! It's after 9 PM! Turn the lights down!"

"Stop messing with the rocks! I liked my cave just the way it was!"

"I want more women in here! Get rid of these other dudes!"

"Get off your lazy butt and give us a water change!"

"Haven't you ever heard of over-population? You're really pushing it, buddy!"

My gosh! At least brush your teeth if you're going to stare at us like that!"

"No! I don't like hard rock music! Put on some classical! Jeesh!"

"One degree hotter in here and we're all dead! Don't you care?!"

it makes you wonder if they'd praise us or have a right go, especially if they can hear my hubby teasing that he's going to put lemon juice in the tank to marinade them!! That's next on my to-do list though, learn to speak fish! do you suppose each species would have it's own dialect?

they definately can hear you, that's no myth. They react to my husband because his voice is quite deep and bassy.
ever listened to someone talking to you whilst you've had your head in the bath water? not to mention there's the old fisherman's fave "quiet, or you'll scare the fish!"

"My gosh...When I asked for a harem, I thought you'd do better than this! Are your females as ugly as mine?!"

[CichliditisExtremitis]

"Please clean the algae off of the glass! I'm really starting to get claustrophobic in here!"

Here's another one:

Papa mbuna to his fry:

"Hey kids! Come and see what we've got trapped on the other side of this glass!"

Fry:

Ooh, paps! That's ugly! Is it dangerous?!
