State of chaos
do you guys think fish feel "bored" when kept in a small tank?
do you think they can get claustrophobic too?
 
bored?? I dont know, but they can be stressed when in too small tanks, and I guess thats because of some sort of claustrophobical feeling.
 
well if puffers dont have muck scenery they tend to destroy their tankmates for fun so id say yes to bordom
 
Boredom happens in all animals. The brain needs constant stimulation to stay healthy. That's why some fish prefer to stay in groups, among other reasons. This is why I always interact with my pets.
 
Hmm I always 'pet' my mollies..Probally bad for the but they dont mind :D
