Scuba dive has changed my perspective towards animals deeply. Went from a voracious meat eater to vegetarian, went from believing that animals where just responding to instincts, to actually see that there was something beyond that. I’ve seen octopi meeting my gaze, looking straight into my eyes and reach with their tentacles out of pure curiosity. Sometimes even getting playful. I’ve seen a sea turtle asking for help to get fishing gear removed from a fin. I’ve seen moray eels getting familiar with me after visiting their hiding spot many times in a row… If we could manage to step out from our own bubble just a bit and see and listen to all those around us… We would be so much different.

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.

[@janefitch4254]

Having fish as an adult has opened my eyes to how cognizant and sentient they really are. My fish would swim up to the glass when I approached the tank and then swim along to follow me as I walked past. It wasn’t just at feeding time either. It was hard forming a bond with them because they’re so fragile in aquariums, so every time I could see one getting sick I treated them as best I could, but it was really sad when they passed anyway.

A friend of ours had a goldfish in a little tank, he really interacted with too. Whenever he got visitors, the fish started to plash on the water with its tail and when our friend didn't react to that, he jumped out of the tank on the carpet, knowing his human friend would get up to save him and thus getting the desired attention.

I had a very interesting experience with this species of fish when I went snorkeling in Guam in '92. A school of Butterfly fishes swam up to me, and literally started "kissing" my arms and legs, very gently, which was a euphoric feeling as I swam, then floated for a bit, around and above their choral reef. I will never forget that experience.... Fish can be very intelligent and they do have memories like us, growing up in the late 60's to early 70's, we had aquariums in my parents' home and I loved feeding the fish and my pet turtles I got later, tiny veggie eaters, they did not eat the fishies..

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.
