Then when I do things around his tank he watches me and follows me. And when I stick my finger in the water and say "hello" he "kisses" my finger in a very gentle, sweet way.

      I used to have a male Beta named Ghost. He was a very light blue that faded to white at his full "plumage". Can't remember how it started, but if I or my wife put the tip of our finger in the tank (10 gallon), he would come over and brush against it like a cat, even wagging his tail in place showing excitement. He wouldn't do it for anyone else. It did not matter if it was pre feeding, after, during, or in between. I have always enjoyed aquariums for relaxation, responsibility, beauty, and even a sense of accomplishment but, Ghost was my best little buddy. I really miss him.

      Fish (fly-replete, in depth of June,
      Dawdling away their wat'ry noon)
      Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear,
      Each secret fishy hope or fear.
      Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond;
      But is there anything Beyond?
      This life cannot be All, they swear,
      For how unpleasant, if it were!
      One may not doubt that, somehow, Good
      Shall come of Water and of Mud;
      And, sure, the reverent eye must see
      A Purpose in Liquidity.
      We darkly know, by Faith we cry,
      The future is not Wholly Dry.
      Mud unto mud!--Death eddies near--
      Not here the appointed End, not here!
      But somewhere, beyond Space and Time,
      Is wetter water, slimier slime!
      And there (they trust) there swimmeth One
      Who swam ere rivers were begun,
      Immense, of fishy form and mind,
      Squamous, omnipotent, and kind;
      And under that Almighty Fin,
      The littlest fish may enter in.
      Oh! never fly conceals a hook,
      Fish say, in the Eternal Brook,
      But more than mundane weeds are there,
      And mud, celestially fair;
      Fat caterpillars drift around,
      And Paradisal grubs are found;
      Unfading moths, immortal flies,
      And the worm that never dies.
      And in that Heaven of all their wish,
      There shall be no more land, say fish.

      Koi fish have been bred for thousands of years by humans and they are very smart but they're also motivated by food as they are voracious eaters. They definitely will bond with you. I have koi fish but I also have sliders and cooter turtles as well as minnows and three massive plecostomus in my pond. They get along quite well as a matter of a fact my Plecos love being around the turtles to either vacuum up the mess they make with food or they suck on their shells. I notice at feeding time for the turtles my Plecos will follow them once they notice them going to the area where they're fed. Once I start feeding them the Plecos will sit behind them and wait for the food debris to get everywhere then swoop in once they see enough. Also people underestimate pigeons and how great of a pet they actually make. When I am outside of their aviary they'll fly near the door beckoning to come in especially when they see the food cup filled with seed. Two of them are wild that I've captured from my mom's house or my workplace. They figure out what is what and who is who. My kids or wife will go in the cage and they want nothing to do with them. I'll go in the cage and they'll come hang out by my feed and eat any seed in the grass.

      @Terri Caton Art I believe she was holding onto the coral’s bare exposed skeleton so the damage may have been minimal. Nonetheless I fully agree, divers should never touch corals if not necessary.

      'Finding Sunny', about a teenage youngster from the same neighbourhood as Nemo and Dory (who do have cameo's but don't play important roles, but it's a fish movie so why not bank on that brand familiarity and also save some time on designs of the under water world). Sunny is a runaway kid, hiding in a corner of the reef where nobody knows him, but he meets this diver and of all creatures she is the one he confides in. After showing her around in his new 'neighbourhood' he eventually leads her to his home, that's filled with 'treasure' ; items from the bottom of the see that he considers beautiful. Some day, he realizes that the friendship with the diver may not last (or at least can not grow much closer) because they come from different worlds but he has learned to open up to others and share about his life. While there have been search parties out there, whom Sunny managed to ignore and escape from for the longest time, 'Finding Sunny' is truely about Sunny finding and accepting himself in order to find his place in the world. Final scene is the diver meeting Sunny possibly one last time as he leads her to a place where all his friends from his hometown have gathered to show his greatest treasure : friendship! Coming in 2026!

    The exact same happened to me and my friend some 25 years ago with this one fish north of Perth, Western Australia. Multiple different dives the same little fish would proudly play tour guide of her special reef introducing us to all the diffefent characters who inhabited the neighbourhood. All with unique personalities...not all were pleased to see us, especially the Snapper, he was quite the grump! But our little tour guide was a darling fish and I'll never forget the experience, so blessed.

    Anyone who has had a fish tank knows that fish recognize you, show emotion, etc. I had a saltwater tank with the absolute coolest pufferfish. He would get so excited when I got home from work and greet me at the side of the tank that was next to the door. He could see all the way across the apartment to my fridge and whenever I got into the freezer he would start freaking out with excitement, splashing the water up top, because the freezer is where I kept his food. He was awesome, he survived my move from from Los Angeles to San Diego but then I went on vacation and I had a family friend take care of him. I had full written instructions and made it clear how important he was to me, long story short she didn’t take care of him and he died. I was heartbroken.

    Remarkably, I had a similar experience many years ago when I was a teenager. My family and I were vacationing in Barbados, and my father and I went on a local shallow water diving tour with two guides. They took us to the wreck of a small fishing boat in about 25 feet of water, and sitting in a small hole in this wreck was a porcupine fish, which is a species of puffer fish. The fish saw the guides and immediately recognized them (probably because they brought people by the wreck almost every day), and came out of the hole and swam right up to us. Incredibly, the fish let one of the guides hold it in his hands, and the guides motioned to me to pet it. Needless to say, I was mindblown as I very gently stroked my fingers along the fish's stomach. I could feel its bones and organs, and the fish was just as calm as could be; it didn't inflate or anything, like puffer fish normally do. I was like, "This isn't happening! Fish don't let you pet them!" But for whatever reason, this fish did. I'll never forget that day.

      This story is quite different from the one you mention. The kobudai was ailing and the Japanese man fed him and saved his life. The bond was formed as a result. With Sonny, there was no feeding nor was there a bond due to life saving measures. The reason so many have commented and expressed joy about Sonny is this human to fish story gives hope that we can happily connect with beings as different from us as fish are but without inducement. And more than that for the connection to be about the relationship itself and that it not be based on conditions. To recognize the uniqueness in another and to cherish it is agape. The fact this is a fish and a human is the special sweetness. This seems to be the central mission and focus of Agape Sailing but they could not have imagined this would manifest with a fish.
