maybe stupid question, but will my fishes get COVID from me?

[professorjimjam]

I am tested positive with the new variant of COVID, despite having all three shots of Pfizer, I still got sick with COVID.

so, it sounds stupid to me that I am thinking that my fishes would catch COVID from me, or maybe I am wrong. Can anyone tell me if fishes can get infected with COVID?

I've heard of a couple animals at Zoo's contracting Covid but nothing Aquatic.

I have not heard of Covid passing to anything besides other mammals. As mentioned above zoo animals have caught it, bears cats. Read stories of pet cats and dogs as well, but those are few and far between. It went wild in the fur trade.

I would be more concerned about dogs since we have very similar upper respiratory symptoms. I've only heard of Deer in Idaho having been affected at this time.

Corona viruses are ones which originate within one animal and jump to another, there is likely a COVID # for fish to humans. Perhaps we have not encountered it yet or its minor.... But if i get ICK!!!!

That's all we need.....aquarium wet pets contracting the various strains of covid. I can see the threads and posts now!

My coworkers who have had it say it’s like the worst flu you can imagine, body aches like being hit by a truck.
Most of them are still experiencing brain fog months later. I’ve also met ppl have lost their sense of smell and taste- and that it doesn’t come back the same or quickly.
It’s no joke.
When I had swine flu I thought I was dieing and this is supposed to be worse. This was like ten years ago I was so bad the doctors put me on a morphine drip in the ER waiting room.
