Does anyone remember this topic where my fish committed suicide by jumping out of the bowl?

Well, I have a new fish and he seems to be happier. His name is Sebastian and he's very pretty and red. These are the silly things he does sometimes. :D

Sometimes he likes to blow bubbles. He lines the rim of the bowl with these little bubbles, it's a very interesting habit he has. Sometimes I watch him do it, it's pretty funny.


When it's time to feed him, he floats in the middle of his bowl. I put the food in (he eats betta flakes) and he comes right up to eat it. You can hear it if you're paying attention, it's adorable.


Quite possibly the weirdest thing is when he goes diving in the rocks at the bottom. You hear them crashing around, but he's not like bashing his head against them or anything. Just shifting them around. He'll usually make a few really quick passes around the bowl and then go back to the rocks.


Anyway, I'm not a fish person but I realize these are not necessarily abnormal things for a fish to do. I'm just still pretty amused by them anyway. :P

You've never heard of mudskippers? Walking catfish? Lungfish?

My grandfather was a lungfish, so I know about this.

............ you wernt serious?................... oh

I was serious. All of those can breathe air.

........................ oh, i dont know what to believe!

^ Whale can breathe air a little

would a whale be considered a fish?

A very big one...you know, I never thought about that. Wow you learn something everyday.

[edit]

Oh you all was talking about fishes that lives in water that can breathe, so i thought I mention the whale.

hmmm. who knew?

Oh yeah that makes sense. I wasn't sure at first.

thank you, wiki answers

Whales are not fish. They don't breathe air "a little". All whales always breathe air.

Also, there are oviparous mammals, or mammals that lay eggs. The platypus and the echidna both do.

what web site did you take that from?

We figure that out already.

Tentatively, yes. I was reiterating.



My own knowledge.

Oh okay. Yeah, I need to watch the Discovery channel more.

okay. ssssuuuuuuurrrrrrrrreeeeeee

If you watch the Discovery channel, it will teach you all that. You'll learn about some species you never knew exist.

^ i dont retain information like that...

You're right, I would lie about zoology because I want to be cool. All the hip kids are discussing the taxonomy parameters of the tuatara these days.

^ i thought so

You should try it, it's really cool and interesting.

i could if i wanted to

Lol, zoology is boring.

My brother had a betta one time and that thing didn't die for a long time. Otherwise, the only time I've had a fish is when I've gone fishing and caught one. And cooked them. I don't eat them, though, because they are gross.

The thing about whales being mammals that breathe only air (can't breathe underwater) is something I learned when I was in elementary school. They don't breathe involuntarily like we do - they can go several minutes between breaths. I thought that was common knowledge, so I believe that Reidar didn't just take that information from some website. xD

Yeah it is common knowledge. I just forgot
