Why is my fish so scared of me2007-11-24 23:43:59

I got this fish about a week ago. Feeding is fine and all. But no matter what, the fish will not eat if it thinks im looking. Also, every time I go near the tank it goes and hides. It is a gold fish, and I hear gold fish can be very friendly and come up to the top around feeding time. My fish stays hidden til I leave to go to the top to eat. Any Suggestions on helping him be less scared of me?

Answers:

OK this is simple it can take some fish weeks to get comfortable in a new tank.I mean look at it this way say aliens came down scooped you up and blam tossed you in a glass room and stared at you constantly.How long will it take for you to get comfortable.Be patient it doesn't know it's a pet but it will.Good luck.

did you pet it?

maybe the food is stale and tastes like crap

Give him time to adjust to the water magnified view of your good looks. Imagine what you look like to the poor thing. Scary.

---

Maybe you look like shark or the fish are to shy

---

Have you looked at yourself lately?

---

they r shy at first before they settle in.

u need plastic surgery

Try taking him for a walk.

---

Because your not in the tank

---

Maybe he doesn't like you. Or mabye he thinks that you may want to have him for dinner.

Don't look close at the fish. From it view point your face is big and ugly and look like shark with lots of pimples.

stop making faces at him!! brush your teeth - goodness they have noses too!
