they are my fish
Today, I was noticing my Rainbow Shark sort of staring at me with this sad look. Then it seemed he looked at his log (which he spends most of his time in) I thought that was odd as he is a very shy fish and tends to hang in the log. I decided he was trying to tell me something and I best check it out. Well, the inside of his log had pretty solidly filled iwth Java Moss. It must have simply squeezed him out. I removed the bulk of the moss and he gave me a thankful look and went in. Now, resting happily inside his favorite log I can say "FISH talk, YOU just need to listen" ha ha

I will have to keep my eyes peeled so his log doesn't get taken over by the moss again. It is kind of funny how all of a sudden it ws too much. I swear the plants double over night sometimes.

My betta does something like that if I talk to him near feeding time. If I'm only standing by the tank, he does the little dance against the glass and keeps darting up to the surface to ask for food. But if I put my face down to his level, he swims to eye-level with me and flicks his eyes upwards to the surface. He keeps doing it until I feed him! He only does it if he's hungry; after eating, he still gets level with my face but his eyes stay on me all the time.
