Sonny just brags about his pet human to his other fish friends
That is so sweet
The other fish have nicknamed him 'Swims with Humans'
😄❤💯🙌
What a delightful interaction. Such a beautiful fish. 🐠
@@DavidRexGlenn Awesome Saucy Comment Of The Week
🤣😂❤
The fact he took you guys on a tour of his home was so cute.
@@lordclay2533 🤣😂😂
Sonny ‘s like “and this is Crush the turtle. He’s sleeping tho, don’t wake him”
And he showed her his roommates, and they came out to see her too lol 😆
😃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's like he's just so proud to show her everything. "This is the hill, and this is where the shells are, and this is Frank.. Hi, Frank!"
Sonny telling his grandkids: "And then I had a human swimming with me, and I showed her all this cool stuff on the reef... even gave her a nice shell and she LOVED IT!"
Grandkids: "Suuuuure... now it's nap time, off to bed!"
LOL!!
😂😂
Poor fish.. doesn't have any evidence like the lady in the video..
And they’ll never believe him lmao
"Grandpa did you forget to take your pills again?"
The most impressive part is how he could recognize her even after years of not seeing each other. That fish is just incredible
I'm surprised he hasn't been eaten!!
@@DavidHeddleson-r9ntbh I was surprised about that too!
Perhaps he interacts the same way with other divers. An extravert fish.
Aren't fish supposed to have a short memory?
@@JEON_CENAThat’s a myth, sweet ^^ In fact, many species of fish are confirmed to not only have good memory but also an extremely strong facial recognition with high accuracy! It’s surprising how many creatures out there have that (wasps do too!)
The fact that Sonny is friends with an eel and can just show up to its doorstep whenever it likes! What a neighborhood full of love! 🤣
Maybe not friends with the eel. Possibly recognizes when the eel is satiated and hence isn't a threat to it
Meet eelie, my neighbour. "Eelie say hi"
@@boomborgoyari5781 Eelie : Meh.
He's the friendly neighborhood Sonny 😂
its spongebob and squidward all over again
He’s like “these are my friends. This is mr eel, he’s always grumpy. This is mr turtle, he sleeps all the time.”
Haha 😂😂😂
Cute way to describe it
😂😂😂😂😂
With a little toddler's voice! --- That is soooo cute! HAHAHAHA!
LOL and he's the fish with the sunny disposition they are all glad to have around. How cute ;)
The fact that Sonny would go out of his way to show you other underwater animals and cool shells just shows how much he cherishes this strange little relationship as much as you do. There is so much to animals that we have yet to understand. Something as small as a butterfly fish is capable of forming a strong bond with humans even though there is a language barrier. Animals are so interesting. 😍
There’s a whole atmosphere barrier 😂🥰
@@danakarloz5845 LOLLL trueee
It's wild but beautiful all at the same time.
The woman is a.kind soul, any animal even fish would know and feel it.
he's telling us to be careful with his ocean and the many inhabitants. Wouldn't it be a sin to hurt this little guy in a careless way or thoughtless way?? I think so. Now.
People don’t understand that animals are much more aware of us than we think. They know what we do, how we can help in an emergency and how dangerous we can be.
Yes
Especially the last part. I think the only reason orcas don't mess with us is because they know we can end them in our giant metal fish that make mountains go boom.
@@jwilliams5256 did you hear about the orca attack the other day?
@@ScornedScallopes
There are brain damaged individuals from every species
: )
If birds can be spirit guides why not fish, they have water wings!
Little fish was like, “Check out my home!” Kind of like a little kid when they invite over their friends
Exactly ! 😂😂
and she stole his shell...
Good description
Right 🥰😂
@Mattias Lindqvist Omg I’m dying 😂 😂 😂
He must see a lot of divers and takes his career as a tour guide very seriously 😂
Lmao 😂
*UNFORTUNATELY: Many of those fish have a marking on their forehead in that spot…many of that type of fish are very social towards humans….and many of those fish do the things in this video. I can assure you this is not the same fish each time. Sorry to expose that.* 👎👎👎
@@strongestnattyever-videos2247no sense of humour??!! 🙄
@@Abena1709 Nah he's just a liar.
😂😂😂
I'm a caregiver, and my client has a large goldfish. Whenever I come in he recognizes me and dances in front of the glass, waiting for his food. Then when I do things around his tank he watches me and follows me. And when I stick my finger in the water and say "hello" he "kisses" my finger in a very gentle, sweet way. I know he probably just thinks it's food, lol, but I love it so much. He's a very affectionate fish. ❤️
No it's more than that. He watched you caring for his human ❤️
@@jaenmartens5697 omg I am crying!!
I used to have a male Beta named Ghost. He was a very light blue that faded to white at his full "plumage". Can't remember how it started, but if I or my wife put the tip of our finger in the tank (10 gallon), he would come over and brush against it like a cat, even wagging his tail in place showing excitement. He wouldn't do it for anyone else. It did not matter if it was pre feeding, after, during, or in between. I have always enjoyed aquariums for relaxation, responsibility, beauty, and even a sense of accomplishment but, Ghost was my best little buddy. I really miss him.
Fish do actually have personalities, so I don’t think it’s that crazy
Fish be like: When will you gonna release me into the ocean? I want to explore the world. I want to see how big it is. I want to meet some new species. I want some adventure...
Scuba dive has changed my perspective towards animals deeply. Went from a voracious meat eater to vegetarian, went from believing that animals where just responding to instincts, to actually see that there was something beyond that.
I’ve seen octopi meeting my gaze, looking straight into my eyes and reach with their tentacles out of pure curiosity. Sometimes even getting playful.
I’ve seen a sea turtle asking for help to get fishing gear removed from a fin.
I’ve seen moray eels getting familiar with me after visiting their hiding spot many times in a row…
If we could manage to step out from our own bubble just a bit and see and listen to all those around us… We would be so much different.
That's so beautiful 🥺 how open minded of you
@@meganglynn6568 🥹 I don’t know if I’d call it open minded though… Its not like I did anything on purpose… I just observed the world around me in awe and at some point something “clicked”. I am very grateful for it
@@thatguy1507But you were open for exploration and change in these moments. Sometimes it's just not within our planning but it just is. Good luck to you🐠
@@gloriousbee9366 huh, I guess after a while it started to sink in… I don’t know how it happened but one day it just hit me. I guess we treat animals the way we do because we mostly see them as products, not as complex organisms, and after being in contact with them for such a long time, that perception simply changed radically.
Octopus in particular are exceptionally intelligent. Fine motor skills require high brain power, it’s why humans are so smart. Need a lot of brain power to work these hands so deftly. So imagine being able to move and do things with 8 arms. Octopus are one big wet hand. Pretty cool!
Fish is like, “My pet human came back! Let me show you what’s new,” so cute
stop eating them!!! they are our family
@@lindamilgate6584 I am literally eating sushi rn
@@lindamilgate6584 you ever hear of FOOD CHAIN? we are animals too.
Aww, He comes quickly wagging his tail fins when she calls him.
I don’t wanna ruin the moment but how u do think they are supposed to swim lol
@@Bubble_Nugget yes but naturally they dont swim that fast they just move slowly thru the ocean, only times they decide to move fast is when scared, chased by a predator, or if they find food.
"OMG HIIIIIIII BESTIEEEEE"
@@Bubble_Nugget then don’t ruin it for them 🙄
Nothing like a “fishy” tour guide who’s literally a fish. How cute and incredible.
Thats kinda fishy
We must protect this fish at all costs
We should protect all fish at all cost
I hope this fish safe from predators
Then go vegan.🌱🐟🌱Thank you.❤
@@berniv7375 Nah, I love fish, but i'ma eat.
I agree that everyone should be vegan.
Fish are a LOT smarter than people give them credit for. Even Goldfish have been shown to recognize faces and the passage of time.
Goldfish definitely get a bad rap
@Michele Y true! their smarts are just different than ours :)
Goldfish are definitely smarter than some of my friends
I used to have a goldfish tank and they're incredibly smart creatures. One of them used to shoot water at me whenever it was dinner time.
@@CoilCode *rep. with an e because its short for reputation

This reminds me too much of the bee movie, it doesn’t help that the fish is yellow and black as well lmfao
@@nautilume7114 😂😂
@@nautilume7114 was thinking the same thing! Lol
If this was a South Park episode, I can imagine her having an affair with the fish.
Why not? Cats, dogs, and birds do the same thing. XD
That fish is genuinely a genius. I wish there were a way to reward him beyond his wildest dreams.
in jesus christ there is 😉
@@gambacherkalbenstein hahaha I mean I hope there’s heaven for fish. Especially this fish. Reminds me of the poem “Heaven” by Rupert Brooke.
Fish (fly-replete, in depth of June,
Dawdling away their wat'ry noon)
Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear,
Each secret fishy hope or fear.
Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond;
But is there anything Beyond?
This life cannot be All, they swear,
For how unpleasant, if it were!
One may not doubt that, somehow, Good
Shall come of Water and of Mud;
And, sure, the reverent eye must see
A Purpose in Liquidity.
We darkly know, by Faith we cry,
The future is not Wholly Dry.
Mud unto mud!--Death eddies near--
Not here the appointed End, not here!
But somewhere, beyond Space and Time,
Is wetter water, slimier slime!
And there (they trust) there swimmeth One
Who swam ere rivers were begun,
Immense, of fishy form and mind,
Squamous, omnipotent, and kind;
And under that Almighty Fin,
The littlest fish may enter in.
Oh! never fly conceals a hook,
Fish say, in the Eternal Brook,
But more than mundane weeds are there,
And mud, celestially fair;
Fat caterpillars drift around,
And Paradisal grubs are found;
Unfading moths, immortal flies,
And the worm that never dies.
And in that Heaven of all their wish,
There shall be no more land, say fish.
Saving the environment would be more than enough honestly
@@misspsyy2383 aww I love that answer. You’re absolutely right. For our posterity and theirs.
@@CharlesFerraro I'm doing my part with gardening :), a small feat but a start nonetheless

I think she's been chosen as this fish's "mate" - and he's courting her with little gifts like he would another fish!
That's very likely. And adorable. 💖
If that's true, then He-fish got big bold cahones ... shooting his shot with a huge female "mate" not caring she's 1000 times his size 😁😁🐠🐠

@@touremuhammad5983 ah-haha, sorry!
That is absolutely adorable. The fish actually introduced you to his reef friends. Nature is awesome lol
The fact that he survived 2 years without being eaten by a predator is amazing
We need to breed this fish and make domesticated fish friends.
Not when you consider this fish seems to be above average intelligence for his species... That mental aptitude comes in handy when eluding predators. Survival of the fittest.
With it's ability for recognition it's not so surprising it's survived.
Although I'm also wondering if it does this with every diver thinking it's the same friend lol.
So you got me wondering...How long do you think fish live for? Do you really think 2 years is a long time for a fish?
@@jaredf6205 we already have domesticated fish. Think goldfish koi etc
I remember when I was a kid, my family took me to Aruba. When I was out swimming in the ocean, a beautiful fish about the size of a tea saucer swam up to me and booped my arm. It swam a few feet away and I went over to it to boop its fin. We then proceeded to play tag, where I would touch the fish and swim away, and then the fish would boop me and swim away. My parents were absolutely hysterical, they couldn't believe a wild creature would be so playful and social
Its crazy and we assume fish are like mindless aliens

I rescued a fish and named him Tigger. He was very sociable, friendly, and got very wiggly and excited when I walked up to his tank. He tracked my every move and would swim into my hand when I put it in the water. He was my little buddy for 10 years. RIP Tigger. You were a loved member of our family.
I had a terrapin that was like that too, she would crawl up to me and rest on my feet when I let her out to roam around freely. She was always coming up to me whenever I was near the tank, and she would just float at the side of the tank and listen calmly looking at me whenever I was lonely, bored, or sad and needed someone to talk to.
That's fantastic! I had a friend with a Beta fish who liked to go with her to coffee shops, etc. She would put him in a clear cup and use her cupholder in the car and he would interact with people throughout, it was wonderful!
@@lulumoon6942 that is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Nature is full of Surprises!
We had a dojo who was the same way. Loved that guy.
Just today I taught my 3 koi fishies to come to me when I tap the water 4 times in a row and they learnt PRETTY QUICK!! Within 2 hours they let me pet them and even gave me kisses and it warmed my heart 😭😭❤️✨💖 I haven't been this happier in a long time❤️✨💖
I saw on a TV program that one scientist had actually taught a fish to jump through a small hoop she would place over the water tank. There is so much we still don't know about animal intelligence. Hopefully, more and more people will soon understand that. I would love to see the day when everyone agrees to stop fishing and hunting because they have discovered how much fmore fulfilling interactions with all animals are like.
Koi fish have been bred for thousands of years by humans and they are very smart but they're also motivated by food as they are voracious eaters. They definitely will bond with you. I have koi fish but I also have sliders and cooter turtles as well as minnows and three massive plecostomus in my pond. They get along quite well as a matter of a fact my Plecos love being around the turtles to either vacuum up the mess they make with food or they suck on their shells. I notice at feeding time for the turtles my Plecos will follow them once they notice them going to the area where they're fed. Once I start feeding them the Plecos will sit behind them and wait for the food debris to get everywhere then swoop in once they see enough. Also people underestimate pigeons and how great of a pet they actually make. When I am outside of their aviary they'll fly near the door beckoning to come in especially when they see the food cup filled with seed. Two of them are wild that I've captured from my mom's house or my workplace. They figure out what is what and who is who. My kids or wife will go in the cage and they want nothing to do with them. I'll go in the cage and they'll come hang out by my feed and eat any seed in the grass.
🐠: "I'm also a tour guide! Being a fish is just my day job!"
And he kinda looks like a yellow cab. That makes it even funnier 😁
@@cameo86 Haha
As a person who has kept fish, this makes me so happy to see. These creatures are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. Sonny is proof of that. What an incredible video. Thank you for sharing.
I figured that out the first time i had a pet Betta. he was a such a curious little fish that would come play with my hand or watch me through the glass or his little leaf shelter. Once we got him a little snail to act as an algae/food scrap janitor he took endless joy in following the snail around and bugging him.
I have witnessed aquarium fish watch a seminar presentation right next to me, it was hilarious.
friend acquired: raccoon butterflyfish
Sari of Cybertron what was the seminar? Did they like it?
Agree..I have a bunch of kois and goldfish. They all swim near the surface of the pond whenever I’m walking around it even if they can’t see my face. I think they are able to distinguish the pattern of my footsteps because they never showed the same behavior with other people walking around that pond.
The fish was like "sup, girl. Ive seen you around you know and I thought Imma just talk to you". Took him 20k dives to muster up enough courage to go talk to you. What a hero.
@fab When a fish has more game than you:
Fish? More like fRIZZ
so heartwarmng, i never knew a fish could have such a special connection with a human
There's this whole book on the topic: *What a Fish Knows* by Jonathan Balcombe. It's an absolutely fascinating read about what fish are capable of mentally. Also a little horrifying to think how many of them we kill en masse daily.
@@bemusedbandersnatch2069 Yes - that is such a great book.
I had a pufferfish spend an afternoon with me in Puerto Rico just like this while snorkeling. Soo cute, fell in love with him and didn’t want to leave the water.
there is a video of two pufferfish, one caught in a net. The puffer waits for the diver to save his pal, patient and no fear.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 Sounds interesting...I'll do a search to locate it!
@@usmale4915 I liked it. And, I find puffers so sweet/silly looking. I was born and raised in Florida and when we'd catch one, we always put it back as gentle as possible. They are so unique looking. And, they do puff up !

Really because I live in PUERTO RICO

I'm just glad his actions and interactions went to someone who appreciates him😄
Yeah cuz he could be in a tank right about now
they can tell when someone's a good human 💛
There's an old legend that once in a while, a person's soul enters an animal's body, or maybe it's a fish with a soul that she knew from a previous life. It's a rare case, but animal communicator Heidi says that a cat that remembers all of its past lives goes back to the person it was born with, happy with the memory of being loved by her or him
The more we learn about animals the more respect we find them worthy of.
But sadly we won't stop the massacre.. we kill animal for food, and what's worse is for entertainment
@N plundering our oceans and ripping trillions of fish out of the ocean every year is far from normal my friend. Vegan is the future 🌱
Wish we could stop murdering and eating them as much as we do... It's sad

Mind you, it might have been shouting gtfo lol
A friend of ours had a goldfish in a little tank, he really interacted with too. Whenever he got visitors, the fish started to plash on the water with its tail and when our friend didn't react to that, he jumped out of the tank on the carpet, knowing his human friend would get up to save him and thus getting the desired attention.
Amazing ! we underestimate the capability and sensitivities of all creatures great and small! 💗💜💙🙏🥰👌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing story of the goldfish! Thank u for sharing! 🥰💗💜💙🙏
I guess you could say he was… dying for attention
Or the water parameters were so bad because of the unsuitable tank that the ammonia started burning the fish resulting in this common behavior for fish who desperately want to get out of a poisonous environment 🐟
We had a goldfish like yours and we loved her as if she were a puppy.
B4 YOU EVEN said, it, I thought this is a soul family member in the form of a fish!! Adorable beyond words!! 💖
I thought that too...
I went on a dive excursion at Grand Turk: the dive operator introduced us to Bernie: a large grouper that would tag along with the dive crews on practically every excursion! He loved to be handled and ‘scratched’ and swam beside us the whole trip!
I’m so jealous right now!
Noo fairrr I can’t swim but I’d love that experience a water puppy sounds awesome 😂
Seriously
One of these days thanks to the internet people will realize Genesis wasn't lying. The state of death and predator/prey is unnatural, the truly natural state is for animals to have no fear of us and for us to look after them and love them. And they yearn for the day God makes all things new as much as we do, when wolf will dwell with the lamb again as before.
@@angelmartin7310 Yes. May God bless you!!✝️👍🏻:)
I think its just a natural instinct for animals including us to show other members of a group around all the important places they know. It just feels natural, like inviting friends over and showing them around the place. I just wonder whats so important about all of these places.

"Y'know, those hairless apes with the big nets."
Fish to buddies: be sure and stay away from those mofos!!!!! I found a weird one that somehow interacts with me!! One in a million!!
Remarkably, I had a similar experience many years ago when I was a teenager. My family and I were vacationing in Barbados, and my father and I went on a local shallow water diving tour with two guides. They took us to the wreck of a small fishing boat in about 25 feet of water, and sitting in a small hole in this wreck was a porcupine fish, which is a species of puffer fish. The fish saw the guides and immediately recognized them (probably because they brought people by the wreck almost every day), and came out of the hole and swam right up to us. Incredibly, the fish let one of the guides hold it in his hands, and the guides motioned to me to pet it. Needless to say, I was mindblown as I very gently stroked my fingers along the fish's stomach. I could feel its bones and organs, and the fish was just as calm as could be; it didn't inflate or anything, like puffer fish normally do. I was like, "This isn't happening! Fish don't let you pet them!" But for whatever reason, this fish did. I'll never forget that day.
What a wonderful memory to cherish! 🐠💙
that's epic
puffers are the cutest
porcupine fish are SUPER friendly at times. had an experience where me and a porcupine fish locked eyes.
what a beautiful memory
There was a study done to prove that fish even recognize themselves! So cool❤
I've had a few amazing encounters with reef fish. People think I'm a bit nuts. So glad to know there is someone else out there that believes! Beautiful story.
Wooow 💛🧡
Me too!
Would you be willing to share one of your encounters?
While snorkeling in Hawaii we saw some very friendly fish that would stay by us. Some were very playful. If we turned over small rocks they liked that and would nudge us to turn over more rocks. It was pretty cool.
@@kikia6611 awwww 😭
This is so amazing I actually cried what's wrong with me I'm crying over a fish
there's nothing wrong with you, you're just soft with animals and thats all
i don't blame ya it's very sweet
Have you ever watched My Octopus Teacher? I cried over an octopus.
It's okay, don't fight it. It's like slipping into a warm bath. lol

Dorys cousin telling diver, “If you get lost, just follow the shells” lol
And teaches a valuable lesson through a little ditty, no matter what troubles or travails you may face, "just keep swimming"
It made me wanna rewatch finding dory
What about: "Swim through all the rings!"
What a once and a lifetime experience with this Beautiful fish 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
except she said it happened 60 times at least.
The fish was just like “Friends, hello! Let me give you a tour of my neighborhood!”
@Ben Lurie Ben, how bored are you that on everyone's comments you say you'd like to kill him yet you're watching Dodo videos which all about animal welfare. Try leaving the house and pick up a hobby. Have a great day pal! 😆😆
@Ben Lurie
Loser. Get help.
@Ben Lurie go touch some grass buddy
@Ben Lurie Meanie! Sunny's electric eel buddy might taze YOU instead. Karma...
@Ben Lurie
Is this working? Are you feeling better about yourself yet? F**king loser 🤡 loool
Fish are a lot smarter than most people give them credit for. This little dude is so sweet!
My father was a deep sea diver in the Navy. When he returned home he started a diving club here in Northern Minnesota. Every time he would go into Lake Irvine, he would rap on his tank and a fish would come and swim with him every time. The fish would swim ahead and lead him, but stay near for companionship.
That is so awesome!
That’s a very beautiful connection. It’s not a past life thing, is in harmony with The Creation.
there's really no way to say for sure. it's something, though. or an extrovert fish LOL.
This fish has an ocean-wide personality. And now he's a world-wide celebrity...
I wonder if when he was little he met humans and it's stayed with him, that feeling of trust and joy.
He is like Nemo…lil explorer!
@@marys3127 hope he doesn't become Dorie and forget !! lol
Love how she throws him an "I love you" sign. Humans being kind
I liked that, too.
🤟🏽🤟🏽
Actually Sonny taught her that the week before
She must be a very loving kind hearted person to attract something as amazing as this.
Aww what a sweet way to look at it, you must be just like her 🥰
@@Veronica.John10-10and you too , I love the community on this Channel your guys’ interaction made my day :)
Fish are extremely intelligent creatures we don't give them enough credit!! Absolutely beautiful video please keep them coming.
As a diver, I can say I've never seen anything like this. What a joyful experience.
He literally gave them a tour of his home. What a very well mannered fish
Aw, he's so proud of his reef! Lol, he's like a little tour guide, what a sweetheart ❤ Disney ought to make a movie about him! A little fish that escorts divers around his reef and introduces all his friends (sleepy turtle and timid eel included), I'd watch that, lol.
@Terri Caton Art I believe she was holding onto the coral’s bare exposed skeleton so the damage may have been minimal. Nonetheless I fully agree, divers should never touch corals if not necessary.
'Finding Sunny', about a teenage youngster from the same neighbourhood as Nemo and Dory (who do have cameo's but don't play important roles, but it's a fish movie so why not bank on that brand familiarity and also save some time on designs of the under water world). Sunny is a runaway kid, hiding in a corner of the reef where nobody knows him, but he meets this diver and of all creatures she is the one he confides in. After showing her around in his new 'neighbourhood' he eventually leads her to his home, that's filled with 'treasure' ; items from the bottom of the see that he considers beautiful. Some day, he realizes that the friendship with the diver may not last (or at least can not grow much closer) because they come from different worlds but he has learned to open up to others and share about his life. While there have been search parties out there, whom Sunny managed to ignore and escape from for the longest time, 'Finding Sunny' is truely about Sunny finding and accepting himself in order to find his place in the world. Final scene is the diver meeting Sunny possibly one last time as he leads her to a place where all his friends from his hometown have gathered to show his greatest treasure : friendship! Coming in 2026!
i'd watch too!
Such a sweet smart little man! He knows why you’re there and he’s happy to give you a tour while you’re visiting!
Anyone who has had a fish tank knows that fish recognize you, show emotion, etc. I had a saltwater tank with the absolute coolest pufferfish. He would get so excited when I got home from work and greet me at the side of the tank that was next to the door. He could see all the way across the apartment to my fridge and whenever I got into the freezer he would start freaking out with excitement, splashing the water up top, because the freezer is where I kept his food. He was awesome, he survived my move from from Los Angeles to San Diego but then I went on vacation and I had a family friend take care of him. I had full written instructions and made it clear how important he was to me, long story short she didn’t take care of him and he died. I was heartbroken.
That’s so awful. There are heartless people in this world. I’m sorry this happened, but Mr. Puff had a good life with you.
I remember my dad used to have these beautiful lion fish in his office, but when he was away for a while, the janitor decided to refill the tank with fresh water….
He sounded like a buddy, Corrinne. I'm sorry about, his 'mistreatment'😔! Did he have a name?
How could someone be that neglectful of a friend's beloved pet?
right
i need a something sharp
Sonny is like a little Mayor of his neighborhood in the ocean. Fantastic! Congratulations on this precious friendship.
The exact same happened to me and my friend some 25 years ago with this one fish north of Perth, Western Australia. Multiple different dives the same little fish would proudly play tour guide of her special reef introducing us to all the diffefent characters who inhabited the neighbourhood. All with unique personalities...not all were pleased to see us, especially the Snapper, he was quite the grump! But our little tour guide was a darling fish and I'll never forget the experience, so blessed.
Fish are the birds of the Sea. We need to get to know them and respect their needs and right to live.
Ja, Sie haben SO Recht! Grüße aus Deutschland
I think I met that. Let me ask my stomach
preach!
So many idiots such little time.
Divers report having these very unique and rare encounters with fish. It's extremely interesting. One man has a relationship just like this with a Tiger Shark that he's been diving with for like 20 years. It's incredible.
"We don't get many humans down here so I got excited. Plus, you're nice!" ❤
As someone who is a fish keeper, I can definitely say that fish remember who you are! People do not give those little creatures the credit they deserve!! They are so full of personality!
Fish do have personalities and forge bonds with eachother and other species. I think humans think we are the only ones capable of experience emotions and that's just not the case. Thos was so heart warming.🤗🥰
There is a deeply held anthrocentric bias for many people. I hope some day everyone is challenged and confronted by the fact that "we" are not the center of the universe, or the most evolved and adapted, etc.
Think it’s more the inter species relationship that’s amazing. Of course all animals and creatures have emotions but it’s incredible between predator and prey creatures having a relationship
Um no its more like humans only think land animals and very few highly intelligent sea creatures like whales and dolphins of being capable of forming those kind of bonds (I guess sea mammals) no one expects a fish to be like that it's like expecting a lizard or a bird randomly showing that kind of behavior towards a human without being fed
@UCbNCbaR0ZFes93itTK3BgOA
*You're! You dummy 🤡 lol
it's kinda' strange to undersand that all we emotionally complex animals are eating each other and exploiting each other while having this dualistic regard... i think it would be neat to have the universe collect the naturally more socially beneficent souls for some afterlife party.
Animals are way more intelligent than most humans think. I love animals so much. This is another amazing heartwarming story presented by the Dodo. So uplifting. Thank you ❤️
Humans are animals
bless you I feel the same way, My older dog is letting me know he wants his treats.😃
Yeah but people always feel the need to minimize that by bringing some reincarnation bs into the equation just like she did.
@@duckzncatz Yeah she didn’t have to say that.
@@duckzncatz that wasn't to minimize the intelligence of the animal, that was about the conection that she feels with the fish
I’ve had pet fish in the past and there’s definitely a lot more than we realize going on inside their brains. One goldfish I had liked to chase my finger as I ran it along the side of his tank. He would also greet me even if I didn’t have food to give him. Fish are really cool
I went snorkeling as a kid and a school of Angel fish surrounded me and swam all the way around me. Was a magical experience. They were so sweet.
That's my favorite! You are part of the school!
he became fish
Sonny is a bored fish and was excited to see human explore his underwater world. He is officially a tour guide for Rachel. Love the friendship. 👏🥰🐠 🦭🐋🌎
That is just crazy but so cool. What a neat little fish.
Neat lady, too!
Definitely
Incredible relationship.... with an ocean fish! I'm glad the lady was kind, understanding and so receptive to this special butterfly fish. 😊
Fish: I've never experienced this before, this human want to interact with me and giggling whenever she sees me. She turn and turn and created so much bubbles whenever she saw me like little dolphin. I would never forget this human all my life.😁🐠
That. Is a beautiful. Friend ship I could swim God bless
I love it when people are open and intelligent enough to hold heartspace for the other citizens of the planet than just dog & cat programming.
yes i proudly house 40 leafy citizens in my bedroom...although they are less interactive than animals the way plants grow is amazing and I've named 90% of them (:
Lovely comment, Gertrude. ‘Heartspace’ Love that!
1st date: Shows you around his reef.
60th date: Gives you an engagement shell.
Me: Congratulations!!!🎉 You’re engaged to a fish!!!
😄
This is by far the best comment. ❤️
👍🤣👍🤣👍🤣👍🤣
Love it! 🤗😂
When’s the wedding? I would pay to see it!
He's the reef hoast, giving tours to the visitors, very cute.
