ShaniFaye,
I have seen kids cry because their 25 cent plain-Jane goldfish had jumped out of the bowl. I never thought I would get too emotionally attached to a cold, wet, slimy animal but it is amazing how much personality a fish can have. Maybe I am anthropomorphizing just a little bit, but these fish do know the difference between the hand that feeds and the hand that teases. And you don't have to spend a ton to get enjoyment out of owning an aquarium. That's the beauty of the hobby. It is easily scaled to an individual's experience, interest and economy.
As for your Fish, it doesn't surprise me that "he" had personality. Just like with keeping any pet animal, the pet often reflects the care its given. A happy pet plays. A sad, unloved pet does ... you get the picture.
Thanks for sharing!
