When I look at my fish, I see beautiful living beings, swirling like jewels through the water, flashing their tails & engaging me with their eyes.
The secret to communicating with a fish-is to begin to engage them with your eyes while speaking as if you are talking to a dog or a cat. Once they know you are aware of them - they will begin to be more aware of you.
After awhile, when you have gained their trust, they will respond and show you that each one has a very individual temperament !
I would like to start with a few thoughts on the ethical treatment of goldfish.
This means having an awareness, that when we buy a fish, we have a responsibility to look after another being - to the best of our ability.
Fish deserve our loyalty & love, just as much as a dog or cat!
Yet so many people treat fish as if they are the 'second class citizens' of the pet world or say they are stupid. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I hope that in my posts you will be able to see them for what they are- special, fragile beings that have feelings, individuality & social structure including awareness of each other.
To treat these wonderful creatures like they are just a throwaway commodity is horrible & shows bias, as well as stupidity.
