hippity hoppity
she is now my property xD
👁🍑👁
Funny how they always look shocked because they don’t have eyelids
@@kursatemekse9737 I know, same as insects and snakes, but obviously achieved in different ways. 😁
Bloop
I tried to keep a small school of neon tetras once. They all died , but in that bag was a lone stow away baby guppy. It grew up , and he enjoyed whenever I walked past the tank. He got excited when I did jazz hands in front of the tank.
so cute but sad story :(
This is how my Fantail Goldfish was up until she died. I would always show her the food through the glass and slowly bring it up while she would it then drop it in the water when she got to the top. She eventually would just follow my finger all the time, even if she had just been fed.
I just bought some neon tetras today
@@Arod0327i have neon tetras and they live with guppies
I had a beta, he was kind of similar and came to the front of the tank whenever I passed. He also flared up at anyone that wasn’t me, which was super cute xD
My betta always knows when I get home cause he can hear me open the door and he gets all excited and swims up to the front of the tank to greet me everyday. Best feeling ever. :’)
I’m gonna get a beta fish really soon and I’m so excited
@@ThatMentallyillgirlread forums about aquarium fish, there is so many things you need to learn first to keep your fish healthy…
Aww!❤
Same except I have mollyes😂
I have a female betta and she will dance with my finger and do tricks
My cherry shrimp aren't the brightest, but they seem to recognize that when I come to their tank in the morning they can go to the feeding spot to find some new food. They also stopped being scared of me after I spent about 20 whole minutes letting them climb all over my hand.
They are shrimp dude, what can you expect 😂
The fish I was closest to was my betta, Cat. He lived in his little tank above my bed, and would get very excited to see me whenever I was around. It was more than just "you are my source of food", he was just happy to be in my presence. He was there to send me off to bed, and would come say hi when I woke up in the morning. I decided he deserved a bigger, more beautiful tank but sadly he passed after moving into his new bigger home. That one really hurt, he was a real companion pet. RIP Cat the betta fish.
How did he pass away tho?
I've always bonded with my Bettas and currently my pea puffer! But I think the closest bond I had was with a betta naked Phantom.
He was a rescue from a Petco (back when I worked for one) that was lifeless and no fins, after I nursed him back to health he turned out to be jet black with blood red double tail fins! He was always a gentle soul, not the best swimmer, and very into dancing whenever I drew on his tank. Towards the end of his life even when he couldn't swim anymore (had to move him to a shallow breeder box so he could get to the surface) he would still muster up an excited wiggle when I came by to check on him
rip Phantom, you were a good boy
Rip phantom :(
I just got a betta today, would you be willing to tell me what Phantom liked so I can try to make my betta the happiest?
@@kitsunea1499 standard tlc/proper Betta fish husbandry! He liked softer foods like blood worms and brine shrimp. His favorite games were tic tac toe drawn on his tank
@@Cheddarcorn ty! That’s adorable
🥺😭😭😭😭
😢..You saved him..he was lucky to have you. Thanks for the feels...
My bristlenose pleco sleeps the whole frickin day but when its around 6pm (feeding time) he always comes out to have a look 🙃
what a chad xD
My betta girl, moss who just recently passed away was the sweetest betta ever. She would go into my hands and jump for food, so sweet.. she was about 2 years old, so unfortunate she passed so soon :(
My uncle rescued a betta fish from his sister in law, it was literally in a container for 3 years without any maintenance, including food. It didn't get fed for three whole years, from what I heard. Absolutely horrifying and depressing that he could survive three years without being fed. It was just crazy and I couldn't beleive it.
Edit: not to mention he was swimming in what was quite literally his own toilet for that long. It passed away a while ago, but his last year was happy.
holy crap... what a strong-willed fish. SIP
Ain't nothing surviving for 3 years without food 🤦
@@ComancheWarrior63 it's somewhat possible, just no added fish food. But it's still very unlikely for a Betta, since they are carnivorous.
@@s.i.m.poster6823 not in a container as was stated. If you are an expert/master level aquarist and you have an established ecological system with abundant plants and microbes and a very tiny single fish it's possible. But you have to have a self sustaining and biologically balanced system.
@@s.i.m.poster6823 I've been in the aquarium hobby since 1977
aw man 😥 many centuries ago my younger brothers had a betta fish who they named Beto (like a bad pun), but of course they didn't care for it (nor I knew back then the way my mom was caring for it wasn't ok so we're all going to fish hell). Anyway, I was doing bad at school and my solution, for some reason, was to use Beto as my apprentice to teach him the things I was gonna have tests about. so everyday I'd sit near his little bowl and talk to him while doing homework. Little homie was pissed the whole time lol, flaring his cute cheek fins at me. This time with him actually helped me understand things and my grades improved.
one day I arrived early from school ready to share some human wisdom to my fishboi victim, and I saw him on the bottom of the bowl, was white as a ghost (he was dark reddish purple). he survived three years of bad care and a hairless monkey weirdo talking to him 😥 I owe him my school degree lol
looking back I guess those were the few moments he had some kind of bonding times with someone, that and my mom's feeding him I guess 😔
years later the memories of Beto's grumpy face made me curious to read about bettas and then I realized the terrible life he lived and it's the reason I became interested in aquariums and I really hope I can give bettas a decent life in the future... I've read they can live 7 years if cared properly... it'd be cool to get a grumpy 'Betto the 2nd" to live that long.
My flowerhorn drew blood twice, does that count? 😂
Only twice means it likes you
Did they get the soft part below your thumb?
It’s was a love bite!😂
love bites xD
@@FishForThought copy cat!! 😝
My guppies absolutely love me. They're 3rd generation right now. So they've all been with me since they were born. Feeding them is definitely the best way to bond. I have a hard time cleaning the tank because of how interactive they are with me. Always getting in the way. 😆
I got really close to my brothers first beta fish (really my fish). His name was peacock and he was some sort of mustard tail I think- anyways he would come up and interact with me by either watching me or following my tweezers when I trimmed his plants, eat off my finger and jump out if the water for food. He would stare at my bearded dragon for hours on end. If anyone but me or my bearded dragon or leopard gecko approached the tank he would act aggressive by flaring his fins and gills and would try and attack them through the glass. He started to make bubble nests in the corners and would sleep on a specific leaf every night. I miss him every day
I tried holding my red devil when she was a bit smaller. Learned very fast those teeth are no joke.
oh boy. i guess they got that name for a good reason!
One time I made communication with my goldfish, I just move my eyes and she would stop and sit and stare and tried to move her eyes too(I thought we were communicating but she was only copying me)
wow that's so cute/ interesting! intelligent :)
lol
Meanwhile my dojo loaches try to jump onto me as soon as they realize I have food 😭✨
I have a black moore that I love dearly. Her name is Maleficent and she’s very chonky. Whenever I stick my hand in the tank to clean up the glass, she comes and tries to eat my arm and get underneath my hand to receive pets. It’s adorable. Goldfish are so personable and fun to have.
Ropefish. They wrap around my hand and fingers and even prefer to be hand fed, rather than just dropping the worms in the tank. African ropefish are the most personable fish I've ever kept
Bro this is just how you become my friend and gain my trust lol
I used to have a baby Parrot Cichlid in college. It was like a little puppy. It would sleep in the ceramic log at the bottom and poke its head out whenever I got close. It got so excited when I fed it and would swim around all happy.
Never in my entire life have I ever seen a fish smile! 😭😭💜💜
I have this massive addiction to rainbowfish. Every time I come back home from University, my rainbow tank is just bursting with colors as they dance around the glass. None of my other aquarium fish do that except for my rainbows. And when they see that little cube of brine shrimp, the go absolutely mental. One of my Parkinsoni rainbows jumped out of the tank just to grab it first. Such a cool little fish
This makes me miss both of my tanks but most especially my 300gal bow front salt reef tank that took me 4yrs to build-up/grow. The part I missed the most about it was my 6 clown fish and 3 cleaner shrimp. I come home from work and they'd instantly come up to the top front of the tank where I'd greet them. I'd then go strait into the kitchen and wash my hands and arms really good twice (I'm a mechanic) so that I wouldn't get them sick or anything. Then I'd prep their food and I'd go hang with them. When I'd open the canopy the clown fish were at the surface blowing bubbles and if I put my hand/arm in they rub against me and wouldn't freak out if I brought them up out of the water a little bit. They were honestly sweet! Then the cleaner shrimp (they were red with a white cross on their back/tail and a slight white/pink stripe on the lower sides.) would cruise from anywhere in the tank and hop on my arm or hand and started cleaning or something. But they too weren't afraid of anything and I could bring them up and out of the water. I also had a 100gal bio-ball tank that I made for filtration. It had 8 little shrimp and some cleaner fish that liked the dark. I did have a dim blueish light in there that would only come on for 6hrs a day. Up in the tank I had some other fish aswell like an eel, a stingray that was about 4in across and a few others I can't really remember the names of. I wanted a shark but I learned that it would probably eat the shrimp and possibly the clown fish I noped out on that. There was crab too! I was getting my live rock and corral from a guy that never ever failed to have surprises in them after some time went by. That's how I ended up with crabs and some other creatures and small sea life like some sort of clam/razors. Etc. It was pretty damn cool and with the setup I built, it was very low maintenance. Basically just water adding and every 4 months I would do a partial water change that I had all ready and set acclimated live salt water that I had in 2 50 gallon rubber maid garbage cans that were lined and rinsed well before I filled them. I would have them going the whole time and I had live rock and a couple fish in them that didn't like light so that all balances were good to go with heater, pumps for oxygen & circulation. I used a pump/ hose system that I designed that also served as a vacuum where I'd go along with it into the sand/gravel to clean it and just incase, I made a failsafe that the chance a fish or something would get sucked up, it would end up in a old 20 gal acrylic tank that would act as a sluice box holding tank that had a screen then a filter in it then the water from that went to my kitchen sink. If anyone has heard of a cobra fish tank vacuum system, it's where I got a part of my idea/design for the vacuum part but everything else was of my design. Back then it was soo expensive! Especially the lighting! I cannot imagine what it's like today. I was doing fish tanks from 89-03. I started into it myself at 13yo but my parents had a 40gal tank when I was growing up with tetras, painted tetras, Bala sharks, Bala cats, kuli loaches, angel fish.
I love owning fish but I have a super irrational fear of touching them... it freaks me out and I feel bad but I love them from a distance ❤
Same
What? I love petting da fishies. 🐠
Feeding routine is the best bond. ❤
nothing like food to encourage love LOL
I use tweezers to feed freeze dried bloodworms to my platies and tetras. But my guy, the guy that always eats it from the tweezers the quickest is Bashas (yes the grocery store). He’s an orange GloFish black skirt tetra with long fins (I do have other tetras too) but he LOVES freeze dried bloodworms and he even loves it more with tweezers.
Right now I have a betta fish named Nova and he’s really close to me. I’ve taught him how to swim through a little hoop I made for him and he also eats from my hand. When I got him I was told to get him a one gallon fish bowl but I didn’t. I introduced him to my other fish and he gets along with them just fine.
I had a zebra danio that liked to dance with me. I would turn on music and be dancing around the room and he would follow me from one end of his tank to the other. It was so cute.
I had a dwarf powder blue gurami when I had a community tank, she was super friendly and always loved snuggling my hand when I do water changes, sadly she died a few days after a chunk of her body got bit off by another fish. (she was so kind tho ;-;)
I had a beautiful powder blue Gurami too. Came home and a chunk was bit out of her. Those tiger barns the pet store were not going to bother her because she was bigger we’re not telling the truth.
Definitely my betta fish so far! He is my third betta fish (I’m still new to fish keeping) and he is a short fin copper male named Phoenix! (Inspired by your story about the betta fish named phoenix) and he is learning a lot of tricks! Like jumping out of the water, chasing the food in circles, and being comfortable with my hand in the tank! I want to teach him how to jump through hoops though..
It took my betta two days after getting him to associate me with food. Now in the mornings and afternoon he starts doing a cute little dance to let me know he's hungry.
I remember I had about 10 variety exotic fish in my 10 gallon tank. Whenever I have company they would hide. People thought I had an empty tank filled with tank decorations. As soon as my company left, all the fish would swim around the tank. It made me feel really special that they trusted me…
When i was a kid, the waterchange- time started when i put my hand on the tank and my goldfish " Orange" placed himself in my hand so i could lift him to his bucket. My mom preferred using the net to scoop him... He flopped angrily lol. His waterchanges were so much more peaceful for him with a comfy hand to snuggle in! He was such a sweet boy... Sadly ppl treat Comets badly as they are "only feeders" but they are very sweet.
I adopted a quatuor of dalmatian Mollies recently, they have fun nibbling at my fingers when I let them do so, they remind me of Orange, fish are fun, and they are pretty too!
I recommend taking your fish for a walk.
When I was a kid. I was walking through the woods with my dad and his friends.
There was a puddle.
I reached down, and grabbed an entire pike with my hands lol.
Can happily say my pictus catfish is a certified demon, but I love him.
😂😂
My biggest white skirt tetra loves me, all his tank mates are scared but he will actually come up to my hand when I place it on the glass. This is mostly because he’s always hungry as hell and will eat the food even if I haven’t released it from my hand yet.
My betta knows when im home and get really excited, I make him jump for the food and we have built a really great bond lately
My Betta seems to like me :D Besides him, I only have Shrimps and Ender Guppys. But Ominis - that's his name - always gets excited when I get up or come home and walk by his tank. He always shoots forward and swims excitedly from left to right until I acknowledge him and get up to his tank. And he only takes food from my hand. Maybe he is a little bit spoiled already, even though I had him for pretty much two months now. He learned incredibly fast :D
I have been close to my black orchid betta as he is not even a year old and he is so active and always comes up to me for food, and my blue philippine angelfish too, when i raise my hand over my aquarium, he sticks his mouth out and acts like a vacuum sucking away the food 😂
My Iridescent sharks loved to spend time in my hand , thought they were sick for so long xD
my blood parrot just ignores me🤣
oh nop xD
Omg the nuzzle into your hand was adorable 🥰 ✨🐠🐟🦀🦐✨
My baby gulper catfish has a lot of fun swimming in circles around my hand!
My blood red parrot fish used to sit in my hand while I fed him. He was the best and super friendly.
I made loud kissing noises over the surface and my betta became curious and started looking for the noise up top. That’s how I feed him now. Just like my cats.
I had some mollies that would swim into my hand when I held it in the water. No need for a net lol
yeah i hand feed my guppies from time to time so now they all swarm into my hand when i dip it in the water
The first time a feed my Glofish Tetras a day they all swim towards the front of the tank because they want to eat =) it's adorable and sometimes I let them eat from my hand.
I had a Oscar and she was super playful, she would follow my finger around and snuggle in my hand anytime I put it in the tank, it was pretty cute, she would even let me pet her, I remember how she loved her little forehead stroked, oh, and her name was mochi.
I really bond with my guppie, named pearl. She always seems to be the first one to come for pets or strokes when I stick my hand in the tank to rearrange something or to feed them. She always got excited when I came to look at the tank.😊
I don't care what anyone says!
My Flowerhorn, Noodles LOVES me! It's not just a food thing, he gulps his food down or ignores it all together, just to swim into my hand for 'cuddles!
He'll throw a floppy fit if I ignore him and push a little ping pong ball right back to me! Because of their aggressive nature, he will nip the sh*t out of anyone else and even turn his little nose up if anyone else gives him food! He keeps his eyes on me and knows where I am at all times when I'm in the same room!
He's definitely a MaMa's boy! ❤️
My betta does this, when I sit down by my desk, she starts zooming around the tank, at the surface, and swims up to my tongs. She is a female shorting, and by far Mt favorite fish
I have gambusia wild caught, but they're so awesome. They know as soon as I come to sit down and will let me pet them with my index lol such adorable little feesh
I've never had shrimp before and recently got some for the first time. It's been a bit awkward, because they seem scared of me and I haven't been sure how to bond with them. They've been showing up a little bit more in the front of the tank though, munching on the plants... so I'm trying not to get too discouraged! They're so cute.
Well almost all of em, they'd even interact by making doglike actions. I had an hongsloi which was very friendly to me, and the next was badis badis. Badis used to throw tantrums and interact in a very astonishing way. I had an electric blue acara which used to come to me like dogs come to humans as they return home. Ramirazis bonds well. Even bumble bee gobbies. Lastly I've got a gourami, which I pet him like similar to you petting your parrot in this clip.
The fish i've gone closest to in the past is with any doubt my clown loach, King Nemo. He's super chill with his tank mates and loves to play and interact with me, which is something uncommon in his species. When i feed him i always hear the noise he makes when he bites the food, which is something like a tick tick. He always gets super excited when i get near the aquarium and sometimes i like to put my hand in the water and watch him bite it and swim around like if it is some kind of toy. Damn i love my chunky boi
My arrowana has gotten use to me hand feeding. They are already use to skimming the top of the tank and jumping. Turning on the lights at the same time in the morning before work and feeding got them use to the routine. It’s amazing because it can actually pet my fish now without it being frightened.
Not on topic but i was buying some endlers once and while the staff was catching them, i realised an angelfish was watching us. It swam away after getting caught spying!
Electric blue Acara has been the biggest water pup out of any fish I’ve owned.
My little tropical fish know its time to eat when I walk up to the tank. Lol. They also like to clean my arms while I'm doing tank maintenance!
My most personal fish was a tie between a goby and a not really fish but a dwarf frog. They would both have to check out anything new. Weather that a pebble or hand
My weather loach slinky semms to love being petted and he completely trusted me after a week and is now always swimming up to me when he sees me and loves nibbling my hand
I've gotten closest to my rosy red minnows, their risht next to my bed, so I wake up to all 6 of my minnows staring at me, because they know 5:00am is their feeding time
I was a honestly not the best fish owner I begged my parents for a pet because I wanted to be responsible. My mom finally caved and bought us a male betta who we named blueberry he was a pretty blue and purple and had long beautiful fins. I always remembered to feed him before school after school and my dad fed him while I was at school. But my dad would help me to clean his tanks and change his water. We had a few plants and he loved to swim in them and hide. He would always swim up to the surface when I was near because he knew it meant feeding. Sadly I lost him after moving in with my mother. I had younger siblings so he had to stay with my father. R.I.P. Blueberry I miss you everyday.
😊 i like fish so I hang out near my aquarium then I bonded with my pet fishes ihave a giant gourami ,a young shortbody flower horn ,Oscar and a giant snakehead that trust me and mostly become more active and playful when I am around 🐠🐟😅😊
This is the cutest video I’ve ever seen
My Goldfish man that was the best thing but something can happen it died🥲 it was the friendliest even my new guest it was always jumping around
7 years😢
RIP 💔
Love your flying foxes… I just got rid of my big tank a few weeks back and my foxes went with it
Shrimp/crayfish or assassin snails are also easy to handfeed
The blood parrot is so cute
My fish just associates me with food so whenever I come up to him, he’s just happy happy happy XD
My pleco died & I buried her today. I am surprised at how much I am grieving over my 6 year long companion. This video helps me feel like I'm not crazy.
My blood parrot chichlid is skiddish when I do her. Vacuuming. She hides. I see this person is actually grabbing his Chiclid and it doesn’t advt too scared. I will have to try that. I have had several bettas that are very friendly. They live when I’m doing water changes. They rub up against my hand and are very intelligent and affectionate. One of my sweet boys would actually get in the palm of my hand and rest his little body. He’d lay down in the palm of my hand. We had a very close relationship. I loved him so much. My daughter called him a mamas boy. His name was Rainbow.🌈 as he was the colors of the rainbow. Beautiful ! Yes, he passed away and I cried like a baby. What hurt the most was he was suffering for way too long. I tried everything to save him. I treated him for everything because I didn’t know what the cause of his illness was. And what was SO HEARTBREAKING was he’d swim to me for help. He come and rest in my hand. It completely broke my heart ! I was told not to let fish run against me or rest in my hand because they have a natural coat of slime that protects them from diseases. Maybe I literally loved him to death 😢. I don’t know but bettas are so affectionate and smart !! 🩷
My angels and platys do all the time. I am afraid I will overfeed them because they got excited every time I go past them and me thinking are they still hungry. But my bettas are the best. They come to say hi every time
Cichlids are so awesome and interactive. We had one, Maddie. Big old gal.
I had Golden Loach for a few years, I spoiled him, got him a bigger tank and everything. (yes I loved up the differences in sex on his gill and fin placement, pretty cool) he'd swim back and forth and then wiggle down or up. Then sleep looking deaf just to scare me... A few times his little whiskers and mouth would nibble on my fingers they are known to be pretty curious and friendy to keepers.
The best bond I always had with Paradise fish, one of them even my sister without eny Experience of keeping fish could handfeed and trained him to do some Tricks
Black skirt tetras kinda trusted me. Before they were scared of my hand but now, I can dip 0.5 inches of my finger.
This is spectacular 🤩 Especially the way you grabbed it and it just calmly accepted it
betta fish after you put your hand in the tank
betta fish : hehe buoy :)
Red Parrot Cichlid. I bet a lot of people were inspired to get one after seeing that one dude handle his parrot cichlid just like you did. I have two a male named Buck Rogers and the female named Bonnie. I'm aware they can't breed because hybrid and infertility in the male but they love each other's company. Buck and Bonnie will hand feed and will swim through my fingers pretty feel good stuff.
I agree!
I have 10 Red Parrots and they definitely have ' buddies' that they pair off and prefer to hang with regardless of their sex! They all have personality plus! The youngest little girl, Coral, has always been super inquisitive, trusting and friendly! At night, I always have a candle lit on a table not far from their tank. Little Coral will hover and stare at the flickering flame for hours like it's some magical beacon! I always wonder what she's thinking! She follows my King Kong Parrot around even though he's 6x her size! He used to nip at her, push her away and flat out ignore her. She was SO persistent and infatuated by this big, red fish, that she never gave up! Little by little, he came to accept her and only she is allowed to sleep in his log at night! They each have separate, distinct personalities and I LOVE paying attention to them! ❤️
I'm close with my pearl gouramis all 3 of them and my siamese algae eater too, my angel fish loves coming up for strokes along with them lol
THAT FISH IS SMILING AT THE END OF THE VIDEO😊😂
I have an angel fish named snow and she's pretty trusting of me
I just started teaching a betta to jump through a ponytail for food :)
My baby tiger Oscar fish that passed away by an error in the automatic feeder while I was in vacation, it dropped all the food at once, caused the death of my Oscar that was a water puppy, and would jump to take food off my hand, and would act as happy as a dog whenever I got home.
I had a beta for 8 years. I could pet him lift him up for water changes and he'd jump into the fresh bowl. Miss him.
My bass lets me pet him when’s its feeding time and when I do water changes he comes dashing up to say hi and get a lil pet 😂
I have fish as my class pet. This helped a lot :)😊
That Siamese is insane!
My panda Garra comes to my hand the second it's in the tank! She loves to "clean" my hand while I'm fixing some plants my dojo loaches messed up! My dojo loaches also have bonded with me and love to swim around my hand and nibble my fingers! Some will even sit in my hand! Some of my goldfish will join them in the finger nibbling, they are sweet too!
We trainin' the fish with this one!
Oh no no no… so many targets are now painted onto poor Izuku’s back. All for One, Endever, Overhaul… Bakugo still and his freakin’ twisted logic.
I've got mayby twelve guppies. Sometimes i stick my hand just above the surface of the tank and noticed they like to rest in my hand
My betta fish Apollo he is even more interactive than my angel fish
My severums and polar parrots play with me like that ! 🙆🏻
I Like to Bond with my key-hole cichlids. They are just so Cute and inteligent❤️
yeah crazy intelligent!
I'm in love with your fish! Saw one for the first time Tuesday, the smile made my day but unfortunately didn't have room for him 😞
I appreciate this. Up until recently, I thought fish were the dumbest pets. I thought they were just living decorations. If you can’t cuddle them, how can you love them?
I hand feed my goldfish with tongs. A year later they are taking food out of my hand underwater. My ranchu are the most trusting of me after feeding them like this. I also talk to them calmly when I water change and feeing time.
