[Food] Do goldfish mourn?

[The Clamp]

That would be my business idea on The Apprentice. "Yes Lord Sugar, I want to sell carrots as replacements for goldfish".

Takes a tray around to the Dragons "See, taste just like the real thing"

Fish are incapable of emotion and therefore do not grieve. You could replace the ex-fish with a carrot stick and the surviving fish would know no different.

I'm out of carrots, will a yellow courgette do?

I'd say give it a go but you may want to put some googly eyes on there, give it some character?

Fish are a bit funny around certain vegetables and certainly don't mix them with leeks as they soon suffocate.

 

[Questions]

Are you sure your goldfish that died wasn’t murdered by the other one ?
And don’t fall for the grieving bit as they will try it on.

 

[darkwolf666]

He will soon forget about it

Forget what?

I had an inflatable fish with a leek once.

Surely, a shop where you buy fishy friends is a fish shop? They don't need to be dead do they? I mean, I could try chucking a kipper in the tank, but I'm not sure the current residents would appreciate that.

Aquatic shop.
A new fish might introduce microbes which could kill off your existing fish.

I bought four fish over ten years ago, and now there’s just one left. He refuses to die and just grows. He thrives on neglect, which is a good job, as my other half forgets to clean the tank regularly.

A technique used to get fish to breed as well.

That depends if you consider things like aggression, territorial habits, fry protection an emotional response to an environment or situation.

Is a fish that comes up to an owner and likes to be pat like a dog or cat showing an emotional reaction to something it enjoys?
