Ive noticed that my masterpiece Thai Silk / KKP is affraid of strangers. Anytime a new person comes to the tank, he gets scared. Well, I noticed him getting scared of me if I was in my big winter coat and hat. Then I slowly noticed that the more clothes I wore, the more scared he got, as if he didnt recognize me. But if I approach him shirtless, he gets all wiggly and happy to see me.
Then I thought about it, and it made sense: fish do not understand the concept of clothing. And since they cant smell us, they simply think were something else. Ive tried every variation, he recognizes me just fine in a tshirt and shorts, but he is most comfortable if he can see me as he sees himself and other fish - au naturel.
It makes sense to me, has anyone else noticed this?
