Do you think pet fish are aware of their imprisonment?

    I've been watching a pet goldfish swim around it's tank and it looks so depressed.

    I hope it's not aware.

    Aware. Defeating depression since 1985

    I had one repeatedly attempt suicide

    How?:confused:


    Anyhow I suspect they have an inner monologue.

    Their actions are continually narrated by a Geordie voice in their heads saying stuff like
    'Day 4,523 in the Goldfish Bowl........Goldie investigate the sunken castle.......again'

    ...that might just be the schizophrenic fish though:(

    kept flipping itself out of its bowl
    we wondered how we kept finding it on the ground until we saw it doing it at last

    I have a goldfish for over 6 years. Not sure what age he is in total as I adopted him from someone, who's housemate moved out and left him. He's moved twice with me.

    Honestly, they make wonderful pets. Im always talking and singing to him and he just stops swimming and stares at me, like he's listening! When I stop, he goes on his merry way swimming. I get him to follow my finger around the tank too.

    I will be devastated when he dies.
