Keene, my flag cichlid, waits for his morning food. This fish is ridiculously smart; I’ve never had a fish that honestly felt like it had a personality before. He will actually stare at me from ten feet away, and wiggle back and forth a bit when it is feeding time.
(I default to “he” because flag cichlids are almost impossible to gender, and because when I used “they” my daughter teased me saying “are you seriously worried about misgendering a fish?” 😅)
