Posturing is very important. Improper body posture can give another fish the wrong idea. This may lead to a prompt and hostile rebuttal.
Assertiveness pays off. The passive one does not get to eat the bloodworm. But be too assertive, and your mate will hate swimming with you.
If you don't want intimate relations, sometimes the best thing to do is to swim away if they don't take a hint.
Sometimes rock bottom isn't so bad. You'll never know what you'll find among the gravel.
Find your safe spot, and defend it to the death.
A clean home is a good home. Poop too much in one location, and you'll be forced to evacuate.
Small fish really are safer in numbers.
Sometimes the flashier fish aren't always the nicest fish to be around.
Just because they're the same species, does not mean it's meant to be.
No matter how many times you may try the poo, it will taste the same every time. Some things are best to give up on.
Just because someone is giving you attention, does not mean that they will feed you. Begging does nothing.
The fish that does not swim with the group usually has health problems.
Everyone has their place. Some are surface dwellers, others, bottom feeders. Find your niche, and don't feel bad. Not every fish is a renaissance fish.
Know your schedule well. Feel empowered. The timer on the lights will always go out at the same time. This is nothing to go berserk about.
When it's your time to go belly up, don't worry. It is a journey we all must take.
This is the most deep life lesson about fish i have ever read.
