I've noticed if theyre scared they form a tight ball and sit in a corner,
They must give some sort of danger signal with pheremones or something?

My Oranda seem to communicate by occaisionally swimming upside-down,
in GF language this means "Watch me, I'm really going to freak my
owner out!!!". This is usually followed by them watching me to see how
many solutions to this "problem" I can think of in the ensuing 30
seconds before they self-right and carry on as normal.
Ain't pets wonderful?

Mine have learned their own code. Three taps on the thermometer means "feed
me now!" Four taps means "Hey you idiot, didn't you hear me the first time"

They also spend a lot of time blowing tiny kisses at you which means "we
love you soooooo much and if you feed us (.....right now...) we'll love you
even more"
