I don't know whether my fish are friends or enemies. I'll just call them frenemies. Most of that time they are separated by the type or class of fish they are. Once in a while they mix together and swim around the tank and look like one big family. This reminds me of the movie
Finding Nemo. The fish are with their friends and family, plus they all look like one another. Although I don't have a thousand fish like in the movie the separation is still noticeable. Are each of their groups similar to the stereotyped groups we have in "high school"? "
I think my fish prefer to be with fish that are similar to them. Maybe they understand each other better than they do with other fish?" Field notes 9/30.
I was able to get a picture of what seemed to be them interacting with each other and not staying in their usual spots. The blue and orange fish at the top are usually always together. They lost 3 other members of their group a while ago and they've stuck together ever since.

| My fish 9/30 |
My "sucker fish" at the bottom was cleaning at the time I took the picture. I've noticed that it's back fin opens up while he's working. It's fin reminded me of a peacock. The polka dots make the fish look less mean from my perspective. Is my sucker fish even considered a mean fish? Are any of my fishes known for being aggressive? I hope they aren't because then I'll end up with no fish.
What kind of fishes do you have? I have a beta fish and I heard that Beta fishes are really aggressive and mean. Although I think that if you've had the other two fishes longer than your "sucker fish" it's most likely for them to exclude your other fish. Just like in the real world!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what a fish fight might look like. Would they ram each other with their snouts?
ReplyDeleteHaha let's hope you don't have mean fish! It's interesting how your fish seem to interact with each other. Is it possible for them to have friends? I also like how you compared your sucker fish's fin to a peacock's feathers :)
