I mean, the fish isn't going to recognize its name, but there is something to be said for the psychological trick of naming something you're caring for so that you feel more compelled to care for it. When I was a kid in Orchestra, our teacher told us to name our instruments so that we would feel more attached to them and want to take better care of them.
@@zariarogers2846 I'm dreading the day my car dies. I have a bright orange 2005 swift that I named Doris. She has a little cat head sticker poking out of the door. I love my car so much.
I had a betta in college that I trained to jump out of the water and boop my finger. All it took was holding a pellet of food at the surface, then slightly above the surface, etc and he would come right up to snatch it. Eventually all I had to do was hold my finger over the water and he’d jump up and give me a fishy kiss. Now, I don’t know how *wise* it is to encourage them to jump up out of the tank, but it certainly is possible to train.
I still remember finding a wikihow that was something along the lines of "How to Pretend You're Emo" and I've wondered who this site was for ever since.
About the how to overcome the death of a fish article. When you are so gloomy after your animal died you just google everything about how to get better after losing someone, an animal etc. for example when I lost my hamster I googled stuff like that, maybe I didn’t read wiki how but more like articles about grief, but I think that there can be some people who came across this article just by searching stuff like that. That kinda explans why it has so many views.
@@cryptidcollective1163 Depends on which fish, however things that fish care to remember are different from cats and dogs. They don't use auditory cues to recognize each other so I don't think they will remember names. Or at least not remember auditory cues for recongnition.
Honestly, I feel like the turtle-sucker introduction one is pretty smart. We had a freshwater red-eared slider in a tank, and my parents added a pleco and the turtle like. Ripped the pleco apart. My parents fed the turtle feeder fish. So not only is that article actually helpful, it’s pretty legit.
FYI clownfish can thrive perfectly without a sea anemone, especially the ones that are captive bred. But it’s always better to have one around if you would like to see the symbiotic relationships or encourage a pair to breed
i think there actually is a game where you have to guess the title of a wiki how by just looking at a picture from it. i think it gives you like 4 options and you have to choose the right one
I've never named a fish - but a boss had two piranhas... freddie and eddie shreddie. Put them in the tank and left for the night and when we came in the next morning we found that freddie ate eddie's eye - and poor eddie was relegated to swimming around the edge of the tank keeping his one watchful eye on freddie.
betta form a bond with you because you feed them. they recognize your voice or certain actions you do before you feed them. mine realizes that when the kitchen light turns on, it means shes about to be fed
I actually taught my two Oscar’s to wiggle left and right whenever they get hungry by doing it with my head before I fed them while they were being raised. I also managed to teach a >1 year old Oscar the same thing! Thought you might find it interesting that they seem to be able to learn behavioral patterns.
clown fish actually don’t need an anemone, the biggest issue in that tank was that there were 3, when kept in groups of more then 2 they will often pick on eachother quite a bit
You can technically “train” a betta or other fish, although not every “intelligent” organism has the mental capability to understand commands/learn behaviors that would result in them receiving a reward. You can look up some videos of some fish jumping throw a little hoop or do other tricks. You can see this mostly with mammals, birds, and even some reptiles. Most fish are… pretty gumpy and just do what they do although it might be surprising how smart some fish can be…some😂
im very active with hand-training my fish and they do recognize my face and my hands and whatnot. if anyone else walks over to the tank they're quite shy but when it's me they get excited because they know it's the weird giant that feeds them
idk if it matters or if someone else answered but "how do they all have the same art style" has a simple but dark answer: they use "freelance artists from the phillipines" which is bad because of the labour laws there. "Hadley said that a great deal of wikiHow's current art has been the product of a core group of artists in the Philippines who'd freelanced for the company for “six to seven years.”"
I am ashamed to say that I am the person who would have to look up how to name my fish. I am infamous in my family for giving absolutely horrible names to pets.
"How to tell if a crocodile is a freshwater or saltwater crocodile" "Check what water its in. If its freshwater then its a freshwater crocodile. If its saltwater then its a saltwater crocodile" *"Woah who could have guessed?"*
I agree they cant recognize voices and names and stuff, but I don't think it's out of the question for them to recognize someone specifically (especially if that person gives them food)
I had a really feisty little female a long time ago. I named her Flirt as she was always flaring her gills at the other fish in the tank. I actually trained her to go into the net so I could clean her tank and to jump out of the water. Molly fry and blood worms were her favorite. It is possible to teach them simple things.
My fish don't even have direct names haha my female cherry barbs are "the gurls" and the male is "my guy" and then there's the neon tetras. It's just "hey buds" to the neons lol
It's quite common for quality water monitor and other large lizards owners to have fishes in the water part of the enclosure, nothing problematic about that.
Love how they drew a BLUE crocodile for a freshwater one And a regular one for saltwater And a gharial for freshwater crocodile Like Not the same thing XD
So the recognition of commands and names (at least in my own experience) can occur in cartilaginous fish. so my bet is this is where the misconception stemmed from.
I had a funeral for my first beta fish. I did something right with him though because he lived for like two or three times as long as normal betas. After I noticed moths getting in to the tank and him eating them I use to sometimes catch moths for him. He lived long enough that my family started joking about him stealing the moths life force.
@@azhdarchidae66 Not even remotely the most supernatural thing that's happened with me by far. My family has, just, Sooo many stories. For example, the at least two, possibly three, different ghosts in my house that i and family have seen. Top-hat guy, and stereotypical ghost girl, with the possible third of stairs guy. Personally i think stairs guy is just top-hat guy but some family members disagree. Sometimes they knock crap over or hid stuff in weird places but they're mostly chill.
i hade a fish i named him jefferson and his favorite place was under this one rock i think he was a pleco he got huge untill i forgot about him and he sadly died due to me not getting him a bigger tank and not cleening his tank..
I think the "coping with the death of your pet fish" one is for kids or the parents of small sad kids who have lost their pet. Otherwise I will lose my faith in humanity. Or the little that I have left anymore.
My puffer fish all recognize me over my gf because Im the only one to feed them. One of them likes to play games with my finger. I still dont talk to them though lol.....I did 3d print a casket for one of my puffers but thats because I didnt want cats digging him up.
I lost a lot of koi jist because of some stupid constuction,The construction never warned about building anything,while building,rusted metals went to the pond and killed my fish,ill remember that moment,ill never forget them,Stupid...Btw Our Roof still leeks when it rains,they never fixed ANYTHING!
