Do fish recognize their owner?

  • I always wonder whether they recognize the owners like other pets. Even research says that we can even train fish like other pets. Does anyone have experience in this?

  • I have not tried to train my fishes but they do recognize me and display a particular type of movement swimming around whenever I go near the tank.

    I think any living thing that you feed will always recognize you in one way or another and it's why they make such observable movements whenever they see you.

  • I always remember being a kid, I was always told that fish had a 3-second memory span so I instantly believed that they would probably never remember you as their owner because of that.


    Is it true though that is the case or do they remember us and can we train them? I am curious now.
