nevchewy Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I think my favorite little thing is... When i walk into my fish room after work and they all rush to the ends of their tanks to say (if nothing else) Hello and Feed me. They are the dogs that i could never could have. My Least favorite thing... When a fish dies with no reason. Almost like fish suicide!! IT doens't often happen but its something that i wish never happened. What are your favorite and Least Favorite things about your fish? nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 My least favorite is definitely "mystery fish deaths" also. There is nothing worse then finding your fish dead when it was fine the last time you checked. I'm not sure what my favorite thing is though, there are so many. I do love breeding and getting to see the fry grow. Thats pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Feeding time is most likely my favorite. That and the relaxing feeling I get watching them. I have to agree on the unexplained death thing. At least if you knew what went wrong you could try and fix it. Leaves you feeling frustrated and helpless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 My favorite thing is watching them interact with each other. Worst thing is when they die for no understandable reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finaddict Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Favorite they r silent... no back talk!! that I can hear.. hahaha.. they r relaxing to watch living in an element we can not!!! Least fav- losing an expensive fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAlberta Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 My Discus are the dog I can't have. I watch them, feed em and do my best to care for them A minor irritant is the continuous water changes ....... part of the price of being a pet owner.

Mighty Prawn Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 My favourite thing about fish is frying up a large fish and eating with with garlic butter and a little basil. My least favourite thing, when a fish dies of a disease so I can't eat it. -Hideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthgirl Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 My favourite thing about fish is frying up a large fish and eating with with garlic butter and a little basil. My least favourite thing, when a fish dies of a disease so I can't eat it.-Hideo MMMM mystery death fish in garlic butter..... Yeah I gotta agree with everyone else, the feeding is the best and the dying thingy sucks! Just lost a platnium angel fish for no apparent reason. I used to hate water changes with my 72 gallon bow front and being 9 months pregnant, but I gotta love the inventor of the python. Don't think I would have the 230 g if they did not make that invention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinless Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 favorite - definitely the 'greetings' given prefeed. hate - rinsing filter pads. blechh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windeindoiel Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 My favorite is watching them... and I've grown quite attached to trying to figure out planted tanks... I usually have my hands in that tank doing something or other every day. My least favorite is realizing we need fish food like right now but not being able to get any for a day or two.

Barracuda-m Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 My favorite thing about them is watching them explore the caves and rocks they have in the tank............ My least favorite (aside from deaths, luckily, there have been no unexplained in almost a year) is my idiot Johanni constantly digging up my plants, moving the substrate around, and knocking the rocks over in the process. He's such a nuisance sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Most Favorite- Their presonaily. How they are 'tough cowards'. You can walk up to the tank and theyre all cool with the hellos, but any quick movement sends em running for cover. Least Favorite- Their sense of bad timing. Seems everytime they get knocked up or sick or something im never really prepared or it happens just before the auction and i cant sell the fry!

fatpuffer Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Fave: Feeding frenzy! least fave: not enough space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Favorite is the interaction you get before feeding, Or with the Predator it all the time. Least Favorite is of course the dead thingy but asside from nature, the fact that lots of species hide as soon as you move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manytanks Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Like almost everybody else, least favourite is netting them out of their watery grave - no, least favourite is having to put one down when there's no other choice. My most favourite has to be the oscars that like to be petted and talked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
