Back to the usual

As it was back then, my "sucker fish" is back in the castle. It makes me sad because now I won't be able to see him trying to find a new home, but then again it seems as if my other fish are able to swim around more comfortably. I've noticed that once they get used to him being out all the time they swim the same as they would if he was hidden inside the castle. I don't know which one they prefer, or if they even care? It relates to when a baby is trying to get used to all the other little kids around him/her. They have to get to know each other before they act as if they've known one another for years, but do they like each other?

As I continued to watch my other fish I became extremely curious to why my blue and orange fish follow each other around all the time! I did some research and according to the website www.fishchannel.com/fish-health/healthy-aquariums/get-a-grip-on-aggression.aspc, when fish are chasing each other around the tank they are probably mating or playing with one another. It could also mean that they are fighting. It's crazy how one move in the fish world can mean a whole bunch in the human world. I never really took the time to find out why fish do certain things. It's fascinating when I discover something I would have never thought about.

  1. I wish I had fishes! Your fish seem very interesting on how they act with each other. It reminds me of "Finding Nemo", where Nemo is in a tank with a bunch of other fishes. Even though in the movie the fishes are all friendly, there was one excluded. So your fishes might not like certain fishes in the same tank.
