Do you talk to your fish/critters?

[Susan Edwards]

I call my clowns bad names when they bite me.

This!!! I yelp and shout when they object to my hand in the water!!!!

 

[Low Tech Reefer]

I talk to my Copperband when he's eating out of my hand lol....Love that fish!

 

[Gup]

I talk to the lamp….

How Enlightening!

 

[Gup]

I know we're all the same. I talk to my fish and of course they have names

 

[traggy]

If you talk to your critters, do you talk "at them" or engage them in conversation?

I talk to my fish and shrimp, but all they say back is "Feed me. Now."

I do especially the clowns , when I get bitten .

 

[GHIVIZZANIPHOTOS]

i yell at my Tiger shrimp and my Engieer goby almost every day for retunnelling my tank..

I have 3 engineers, so I can relate!! Lol

 

[Townes_Van_Camp]

I call my clown a b____h when she bites me. That’s it.

But I carry on conversations with my dog.

A certain clownfish chewed up my forearm so badly (150 bites?) a couple of months ago while I was cleaning because of dinos.

I cannot repeat here what I call or say to her. This is a family forum!

Three engineers? Wow! You must have a lot building and rebuilding and rebuilding and rebuilding going on!! Haha. I can't get over how much sand my pair can move around and they never stop! With all of these gobies and shrimp living in the reefs I'm surprised all of the reefs around the world haven't collapsed by now. Haha.

150 bites?! Wow! I'm surprised you came out of that with your arm still in one piece!!

 

[bguile]

Only the expensive ones! Lol.

 

[Wendi1bird]

My wife has names for all of the fish and most of the corals. And does talk to them. She asks if they want food and if they are happy etc.

I am the same way, my husband makes fun of me... is that you, Jay?!

 

[Hydrored]

I yell at my urchin…… we have a love hate relationship…..it’s complicated

I have a chromis that loves to burrow out a cave under liverock. Sometimes I wake up to a cloudy tank panicking thinking somethings wrong. Nope...just the lil F*r done dug out another cave :mad:

Yes, they all go to the corner of my tank and tell me they’re starving.

 

[N.Sreefer]

Not normally but my hogfish jumping out of my tank and into the sump led to so much swearing my roommate thought I was watching trailer park boys.

No problem if you talk to them the problem will be when you start hearing answers
