Question Goldfish Watch TV? funny

Hmmmmm. I know you guys are gonna think that I have lost it.

The other night, my hubby and I put a movie on. Our two goldfish swam up together, side by side and angled themselves so that they were looking at the TV. The movie was 2 and 1/2 hours long. I guess they were asleep or something, because they sat there, angled at the TV for the whole time and never moved. When my husband took out the movie, they both started swimming around and doing other things.

Now I know goldfish don't watch TV. But it is very weird. Last night they did it again, and when I called my husband tonight I asked him what he was doing, and he said "oh, just watching TV with Meatloaf(one of my fish). HA.

Weird.....mine only seem to watch certain things too. The movie we were watching had a lot going on, as a matter of fact I almost felt dizzy watching it. Maybe they were on an acid trip, who knows! lol

Walk past a tank full of chichlids, and you will feel like the
aqua-paparrazi is following you. They are very perceptive to stuff outside
the tank.

I had three tin foil barbs for a bunch of years (R.I.O. Big Red and the
Gang) and those three would follow me around the room. God forbid, I forgot
and put the can of food down near the tank. They'd sit staring at it for
days.

That's funny. I have a couple of bettas that know the difference between the
betta-flake can and the bloodworm jar. They practically jump out of the
water in excitement when I pick up the jar.
