View Full Version : Exercising Fish?

My comet seems to spend hours of delight, swimming from one side of the
tank to the other. He touches one side with his mouth, turns, and swims
back.

Occasionally he stops. Swims to the castle, nibbles, then does a few
laps of the tank.

Off he goes again...

Any ideas? Is this a fishy attempt at building up strength to escape
from his tank?

Maybe he's trying to learn the tumble turn? Sorry, I have nothing sensible
to add, as you can see.

Quite common behavior.

He wants you to go get a leash and talk him for a walk.

Get in touch with the guy who made "Chicken Farm". Instead of "nobody
escapes from Tweedy's Farm", we'll have "nobody escapes from Thompson's
Tank".

I suggest that you stop letting your fish watch Finding Nemo.
