I watch my fish everyday and love them to death and wonder if they can love me back. I definitely feel the love from my dojo loaches and bettas. They greet me at the front of the tank every day eagerly wanting food and acting silly. My Jack Dempsey does this as well.
There has been a debate for quite sometime though as to whether or not fish can feel pain though.
I found this article, let me just say I can't verify the websites credibility, but it was a great read.
Do fish have feelings too? It's a slippery question for science | Daily Mail Online
After being in this hobby for a good amount of time and having my fair share of lost fish I am a believer that feel can suffer and do feel pain. They can also feel joy when their owner comes to the tank or during feeding time. That's my opinion.
What do you guys think?
Before commenting: let's not turn this into a heated debate. Be kind and respectful when answering. I've seen too many threads taken down because of heated arguments.
