skaffen Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hiya. At the risk of anthropomorphizing, what's your favorite fish for character? I was at World of Water a week or two ago, and they have an amazing puffer fish. I can't remember the exact species, but it was like a small dog wagging everything at once when it was being hand fed meal worms. Oops, just realised that's a salt water fish - stupid flu has made me stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 My fav fish for character is actually not a freshwater species/family... It is marine... Pufferfish... We have a Stars and Stripes Puffer and he's hilarious, I would swear that he is human who reincarnated as a Puffer :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 My favourite fish for charactor that I have is my fighters as they are really smart. I going to try and get my male and female fighters to be hand fed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 For me it would have to be clown loaches or our male pink convict, although with the convict its more attitude than character!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I think anthropomorphizing means putting humans charactoristics (I'm not sure how to spell it :lol: ) in non human things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreedingFrenzy Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I reckon my gourami is the coolest fish I have Before I moved him to a bigger tank he was pretty awesome and used to explore everything with his feelers, he even had a game where he would bang the thermometer into the glass to make a huge noise then go and hide and do it all over again... I swear he did it all the time while I was trying to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaffen Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Sorry, it's the only term I remember from school biology, so I drag it out whenever I can I like my siamese algae eaters, they seem like happy fish and it's funny watching them ride the aponogetons in the current, like little fish rodeo riders. And I like the attitude of my bolivian butterflies. One of them has a go at my bala shark (who must be ten times his size) when there's algae wafers at stake. He's lucky the bala is easy going, he kind of grudgingly moves on after a few nibbles. I know what you mean about gouramis. My golden slides up beside other fish and checks them out with his feelers, it's kinda a sideways glance with a "How you doin?" Hmm, might name him Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heir Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Mine is my Paradise Fish as evil as he sometimes is, I can pat him and he eats out of my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to leave the shop quickly :-) How old is yours, they live quite a long time I understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 skaffen - Our stars and stripes is about 20 cm and hes only a youngster... it's amazing to watch him, he crunches through coral rock like its a biscuit :lol: :lol: I have hand fed him one or two times but get the wind up a bit with those beak type nashers :lol: :lol: He sulks, he demands food, he runs up and down the front of the tank when I am busy feeding out in the fish shed, and runs his mouth across the front of the glass, so all you see is this big flash of white beak teeth... :lol: I will take a pic later today when I get the digital camera back. He has grown since I got him, and can't wait till he looks like an oversized bath toy.. :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
