Do you talk to your fish?

You have nice smart fish
I had a really smart goldfish, it would dance to music as I waved my hand back and forth in front of it, following my fingers. And when I held my finger at the glass, it knew that if it swam up and 'kissed' (glup glupped at!) it, then I would feed it. If it wasn't hungry, it wouldn't come over. But it died
My new goldfish are both very stupid, they don't even associate the sound of me shaking the food container with getting fed, Pavlov would be very disappointed! I still talk to them though

I don't have any - but I would if I did - I talk to other people's fish.

I dont have long conversations with them but, yes I certainly greet them after the cats are satisfied with their greetings.
Lately Ive been having long gazes exchanged with them, Ive lost gosh 3 or 4 in the last week, so Im a bit worried. Especially since my guppy is about to have babies, and shes the only guppy left.
One of my albino catfish hurt himself, and Id like to ask the other one if he wants company or just needs time, I dont know though...I think I might need time anyway.
Funny that we talk to our pets, all kinds.

I had a gold fish for a few years and I'd talk to it daily. Just because I do that sort of thing. Not because I think it liked it.

Perhaps its just about communication, not about like?

dont know.

It is sort of, either you talk to your animals, or you dont.

yep, I always ask Bootsie (the dog) if she's hungry as I'm getting her food. She knows what the word is. The cat gets the same monologue, but doesn't know what the word means. I used to say it to the fish too. It's just the way I am.

My cats know what hungry or breakfast is...Cleo knows nighty night and Zoey knows Be A Good Girl. funny what they can learn when you repeat it over and over....
then again...
Cleo knows NO, Zoey doesnt
Its selective, Im sure.

Yeah, thinking about it, I guess I do say the same things to the fish.
Perhaps its just pet language.....universal thing.
Plants might count too, for those that have plants, and well, talk to them.

Yep, I talk to my plants. Mostly to apologise for letting them dry out.
