Jimminy, is it possible to get emotionally attached to fish? I guess I always think of pets as being fluffy and cuddleable... can't really hug a fish![]()
From my experience, it is totally possible to get emotionally attached to a fish! I couldn't believe how fond you become of them!

They have personalities, honestly they do! They have little personalities and they get to know you and swim up to you when you come close to the aquarium, I was shocked when I started to notice my fish responding to me. And you can feed them by hand too, they are affectionate. And they used to watch my little puggie, I noticed them swimming back and forth and they were watching him walking around the room and trying to get a better look at him, so cute!
But then they died one by one and I was so sad because I became attached to them, it was heartbreaking to see the last one go and I cried. Because he (or she, I dunno, lol) was sick and I tried everything I could to make it better but it just slowly died and I was so upset and wondered if I should have put it out of its misery but I couldn't because I loved it so much and it had such a zest for life, it was trying to cling to life so I just kept trying everything I could to make it better.....
So when the last one went I didn't want to get anymore, it was so hard to keep them, I had them about 3 years so there's somewhat of an affection when you have to take care of something every single day for a few years...sob...
