Have you ever wondered what our fish might say to us if they were able to talk? I currently have a tank full of mbunas; and given their nature, I think they might say something like the following. I hope that you have a good sense of humor:

"Why are you feeding us pellets that have been in the refrigerator for two years?!"

"Hey! Human! It's after 9 PM! Turn down the lights!"

"Stop messing with the rocks! I liked my cave just the way it was!"

"I want more women in here! Get rid of these other dudes!"

"Get off your lazy butt and give us a water change!"

"Haven't you ever heard of over-population? You're really pushing it, buddy!"

My gosh! At least brush your teeth if you're going to stare at us like that!"

"No! I don't like hard rock music! Put on some classical! Jeesh!"

"One degree hotter in here and we're all dead! Don't you care?!"

"My gosh...When I asked for a harem, I thought you'd do better than this! Are your females as ugly as mine?!"

"Please clean the algae off of the glass! I'm really starting to get claustrophobic in here!"

Here's another one:

Papa mbuna to his fry:

"Hey kids! Come and see what we've got trapped on the other side of this glass!"

Fry:

Ooh, paps! That's ugly! Is it dangerous?!

Actually, I like ur sense of humor.

Hi Frank! Glad you can appreciate my humor. Was there any one in particular that gave you a good chuckle?

Hi,
You know, I don't think there was any ONE that hit my
funny bone in particular. In truth, as I read them,
I found myself thinking of the fish in many of our tanks
that might be saying just those things to their keepers.

We constantly field questions relating to poor
coloration: old food, poor water conditions, too high
or low temperatures, etc.

Breeding and over crowding

We even had a post, a few years ago asking about where
to place the fish tank in relation to the sound system's
speakers. That was quite interesting and even involved
types of music, and caused a bit of a controversy as
for everyone who suggested one thing, someone else would
counter with an answer that was 180 out!

The one that I put at the bottom of my list ( the one
about temperature) even came up today (in a way) in one
of our new posts about discus compatibility.

I thought they were interesting and entertaining and
hope that our members read them, snicker or laugh, and
then think about just how THEIR fish might feel!

Well, here's another word from my demanding mbunas, if you will:

"You see this mouth? You see that pellet? Yeah, that's right; there's something very wrong here! Next time, buy us a smaller pellet, okay?! What were you thinking!?"

Now how many times have new fishkeepers done that?

Actually its sounds like a "Beginners guide"

Even it is written in a very humorous mode it is so true. Like Frank over the years these are the questions that often pop up.

Now we have another poster with a good sense of humour.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

lol, things that make you go hmmmmmm....

I bet those fish of mine have some interesting conversations about me when I am not around ;-)

especially the tiger barbs!

Hello Keith. Actually, it was purposely meant to be humorous, but with bits -- well, maybe chunks -- of truth thrown in.
