Are you emotionally attatched to your fish?

less attached to the schooling fish, because I can't tell them apart. But I'm attached to all of my fishes, especially the ones we name.
 
i have to agree i'm very attached to my fish like cmartin said if its not from ols age i feel guilty i have killed fish from not enoug research or bad advice also and i did cry when i lost my betta (male) i know im to emotional you aint gotta tell me about it i all ready know ;)
 
I'm guilty of being very attached to my fish as well, esp the one's I can tell apart. I have 5 tanks going right now and all the fish in each one is special to me. I think my Cichlids are very special the way they all seem to watch me when I'm in the room. I swear one of them tries to "talk" to me lol. When my oscar was missing she kept wiggling at me and I would ask "where is Felix?" and She would wiggle and then dart over to the back of the tank. Well the second day I went looking for the oscar I found him dead between two rocks about where my cichlid was trying to get me to look. Okay maybe I've lost it, but I swear she was trying to show me where Felix was. I cried when I found him dead, and I think I would cry if any of my cichlids I have now died as they are part of my family. I also have a real bond with my target puffer, I bought him/her from a lfs and she/he was in bad shape, due to a previous owner having two of them and they got into a big fight with the one I bought being pretty torn up. He/she is all healed up now and doing great and I feel like I helped save it's life. He has to be the cutest fish I have. My favorite time with my fish is feeding time at night, I can spend hours just watching them and yes talking to them lol. So yes I'm attached and I hope they are at least a bit attached to me too, becuase they sure do lower my stress levels and give me a lot of enjoyment. :)
 
i am very attached to my tire track i feed him by hand every night and let him swim through my fingers. i am also attached to my GSP. i guess it is about a fish per tank that i am attached to.
 
It's been 12 years since I had to give away Herbie, my red devil...but I still think of her often. She used to have an "i'm hungry" dance when she saw me come into the room. Every day while I was at work she would busily rearrange all of the gravel in the tank. When i came home she would sit in the corner waiting for me to move it all back then do her I'm hungry dance....poor herbie....gone but not forgotten
 
i am espeacialy attached to my bettas and cories!
platies and guppies not so much but i like all my fish!
 
My big Common Pleco has become a big attachment to me lately. He/she has gotten into the habit of sucking onto the front glass of the tank and sliding up to the top so I'll put some food in his/her mouth lol It's so cute, he/she even sticks part of it's head above the water level and lets me pet it. Even sucks on my fingers when I stick them in the tank. I feel like I've got this little "Orca" in my tank doing tricks for me heheeh
Fish, got to love them!
 
Yep - got very attached to my Corys REAL fast!! They just got sooo much character!!

Every morning I rush on out to say 'good morning' to my 'boys' and turn on the light.

Yes - I DO know they only fish, but I swear they grinning all over their lil cory faces!!!

The Neons - not so much...

Miss "Tiny" tho - he was a real cutie!! RIP lil buddy!
