You get fish to look at them, and all they do....

There is a strange thing that happens when you own fish... you start to notice some odd behavior. I´ve had goldfish for years now, and they never cease to amaze me. At first you bring home your new fish is a plastic bag, pour it in your tank and watch for the magic to begin. Trust me, nothing is going to happen. They might make a zig-zag across the tank, but after that it´s floating dully somewhere in the back. Don´t worry, their just waiting for you to stop looking.

I don´t know how many hours I spent watching them, it´s fascinating to watch them swim or eat or just ´be´. But you´ll know you´ve had fish too long, when you catch them look at you.

That´s right, my little goldfish are quietly stalking me as I move around the house.

One day I was carrying something into the kitchen and a gold flash caught my eye. I turn to face the tank and my fish were just sitting there as normal. I put my things in the kitchen, came back out and I saw it again. I turned to face them, and now they were at the other side of the tank, just staring blankly at me. Was I losing my mind? Nope. The goldfish were following me across their tank, everytime I walked by. Oh look! Here comes the human, where´s the food! (At least that´s what I imagine they were thinking).

Not only do I have several dozen fishy eyes on my whenever I move around the house, I also have the distinct impression that they are completed bored. Next thing you know they´ll be knocking on their side of the glass to get me to move around more!

Hi Fish Lovers!

Hi FISH LOVERS!

I love fish so I decided to start a blog about fish. Everything about fish. Types of fish, taking care of fish, information on fish. everything. not only about pet fish but fish in the sea too. No fish left behind.

I'm not really sure what else to write in a first introduction post...hmmmm. oh yeah. I have like twenty. I have a tropical fish tank in my wall and a smaller fish tank with some goldfish and other fish. In my tropical fish tank, I have a small shark, which is awesome!

Also, I have two pet turtles.
