Fish friend is saying to the other fish! “MY HUMAN!” 😂❤
He needs to be bred into pet fishy
@@SnakeBush exactly !
😂 yeah ! Amazing !
🤣🤣👍🏾👍🏾
@@SnakeBushWhy would you like to get him out of where he enjoys life best? Would you like to get moved to a different environment or planet with an alien just because you guys have become friends or would you rather cherish the moments you have together when he comes visit you?
people have no idea how animals see humans. They look at us the same way we would look at aliens landing a spaceship near your house.
This is absolutely incredible. Some believe fish are mindless and don't feel. Every single one of them has an individual personality.
I agree. I am a fresh water Aquarium keeper and I can attest to them getting excited when they see you.
I had a peacock eel that loved to be touched. And many other playful fish. Fish are so relaxing to watch
@@mlgk-njI had a dojo loach that loved to swim through my finger and eat out of my hand,was devastated when she died.
Like most animals. Humans make up fake stories to make ourselves feel better about killing them and hitting them. “They don’t feel pain in their mouth.” Well that’s convenient. “They can live with one claw!” Another convenience that happens to benefit humans. “Whales don’t get caught in traps.” Yet another one. We have many.
I had one years ago, I had left changing his water late and he sent me telepathically an impression of how it was for him. I did it instantly...
As a pescitarian, are there any dumb fish we can eat? Tilapia maybe
Poor fish was caught once and still trusted this human. Unbelievable.
lol trauma
@@aboomination897 no you have a trauma too.
He was released he is fine 🐟👍
@@tomstarcevich1147you mean traumatized? What if a human got pulled with a hook in his mouth, Imagine
@@courtykat Fish don't have pain receptors and they don't have the brain to process pain.
As a fish keeper, I can attest that fish definitely have personalities. Out of all of my fish, there is one particular one that immediately comes to the front of the tank whenever he sees me. He will stay there until I open the top of the tank & then he’ll let me hand feed him. He is the only fish I’ve had that lets me touch him. He’ll rub against my fingers & hang out for as long as I’m able to. This is an awesome video. Thank you for sharing! 🐠🐟🐡
My friend had 3 fish in a tank and when I went round I would give them a pinch of food. They started recognizing me as soon as I walked in the door, and would gather at the front of the tank waiting for their meal. I never thought fish would recognize a person through the glass of their tank from 6 feet away!
My Oscar’s all do this. Betta’s do it too.. That’s why they have all been my favorites over the years.. They’re like water puppies 😊
sorry it may seem inappropriate but can I ask you a question.?
I had my son's Oscar for a few years. He tolerated me but definitely had a way to indicate those that he didn't like. He hated my brother and would wait for him approach the tank so he could splash him. Same with a few other unsuspecting visitors who went to the tank to admire him. People he liked were treated to an awesome display of good will and posing at the side of the tank. Others were drenched with tank water and given a baleful stare as he swam away.
@@janedeclarico5920 that's hilarious! who knew fish could be so sassy lol
Sooo cool. People need to realize that friendship doesn't just mean human to human, but species to human. You can have a BFF from many different species. 🙏🐳
My best friends are my two dogs. Lol
"I just think bipedals are neat."
@@SwiftyShaft. One of my best friends died unexpectedly in December. It has been unbearable. I wasn’t planning on adopting a rescue again because of my age. Despite that, little over a week ago, I decided to see if our local animal shelter had any dogs. I called about one the next morning and he had been adopted. A couple of days later, a tiny female was posted, who is 7. I think I have another few years in me!
I immediately began the process of adopting her. I was approved and since I am housebound, they are kindly bringing her to me. Her elderly owner died and her children put this tiny, sheltered dog at the pound. She was doing so badly that the pound called a rescue group to help. I saw her picture when it was posted online. She lost a third of her body weight in a couple of weeks. I had the most precious loved one the same thing happened to. He was 13 pounds, had weighed 18 when he arrived and should have weighed 24. He was with me 12 years.
I can’t wait to improve her life. It’s the best way to honor both of my loved one’s memories.
@@SwiftyShaftMy dogs weren't my bests friends, but my brothers and sisters.
Species to species. Watching my cat and dog snuggle up together is awesome. Seeing them play is even better, just a lot more one-sided and funny. Kitty hangs in there though.
Well, that’s the cutest thing ever. I love animals.
I prefer animals to most people!
Me to❤😊@@jeffreythaw3333
ikr
me too! @@jeffreythaw3333
Balık hayvan değildir. :)
He's so trusting now, I hope no one catches him again 😢
I'm a fisherman now I'm feeling guilty!
@@deaneng8540 What a bizarre and wonderful world it is. I have somewhat felt the same way you feel, except about eating beef after seeing how kind and gentle cows can be by watching these videos. 😂
Me too!!!
@@jonkaminsky8382ugh sameee look we can’t do it all right 😫
From fisherman to having a best friend that’s a fish. That’s progress.
While you are trying to find him.. he is down there waiting for you to come.. 😂❤
Oh no, now I'm imaging him down there always waiting for his human bro 🥺
Well, this was unexpectedly adorable.
I was so thinking the same thing!
It really was❤
You are the new Aquaman lol. You now have a fish kingdom. Lol
I hope that fish never gets caught! Its always something to see when you get that one stand out animal that interacts with people.
All creatures big and small deserve kindness ❤
Amen...
I agree, but you still gotta eat
I hope that you leave spiders live their life in your house, and don't put them away outside, to a certain death.
@@garryiglesias4074 Uhh, why is outside so bad for a spider or are you being sarcastic?
@@thomascarey6687and we can be kind to them before we eat, right?❤
This gives much to thought. Fish are not just mindless creatures who have no senses or recognition. Thanks for this wonderful story. 🐟🇦🇺💗
They are real good with facial recognition, let's say fish frank, he can discern fish Betty and fish Daniel from each other, and that also applys to us, they can tell what our face is and where it is
My creationism religious zealot of a father thinks all animals are unintelligent and incapable of learning. He thinks friendships are exclusive to humans. Anytime animals display intelligence, he says it's, "just instinct, they can't learn anything." It's such a sad, limiting world view. Like the diver said, we need to re-assess the world from different perspectives ❤❤❤
I want to show this video to everyone who thinks a fish is just a throwaway pet that doesn't matter if it dies. Fish are so much more aware than we think.
I had the same experience while snorkeling in La Reunion. I had one fish that would always stick to me and prevent the others from getting closer. It‘s hard to describe, but it‘s like a connection. You have a new friend from „another world“ and it is a really good feeling. I totally understand what he means.
I had this happen to me! Shallow gulf of Mexico snorkeling, I would turn over rocks & he would eat whatever was underneath, followed me for 2 hrs & then followed me back to my boat. He chased all the other tropical fish away from me too!It was magical😊❤
sorry it may seem inappropriate but can I ask you a question.?
The fish is not behaving like a jealous dog or cat. He is behaving like a jealous boyfriend! This is incredibly cute and fascinating! 🐟❤
It might be female or maybe male. Whatever the case it does act like it's decided they're together.😄Too sweet!
@@mariarohmer2374 😄
Can't be jealous, as the fish introduced the human to his entire school to get to know him.
@@alanguagesWell, his fish friend is a smallmouth. And the fish he was chasing was a largemouth or maybe a spotted. So maybe just interspecies competition. 😂
@@PgLangGang the fish was trying to shoo away all fish not from his school.
Amen, no one thinks of fish as they do other animals! They feel pain and have personalities too! 🥰
It's because they don't have facial or eye expression.
Fr and crescendos is right. That’s why people think that
Nature always surprises me, is nice to form friendships with other species.
From Land To Sea!! Animals can follow us anywhere!!😊😊❤❤.
Like dolphins 😂
@user-zb1pi2ds7o Dolphins are a great species!! Very Useful in Oceanography!!
I really hope you both can have years of swimming and that special magical bond!
Just goes to show you animals have personalities, and feelings and they are as different from each other as we humans are.
I am a scuba diver, and since I started many years ago, I’ve not been able to eat fish since. They are so lively and so full of personality.
LOL, he was chasing the others away at first, telling them, "This is MY hooman" then changing his mind and inviting the school to come visit the man.
Well, that’s his gang, he just brought backups 😂
Fish are living beings with their own personalities. They are friends, not food.
Tell that to the predators in the ocean
@@A.Mack1o2 We humans have options in terms of what we eat.
@@danieldickson8591 you do realise not every human can't live on a plant based diet?,People have different dietary needs that includes meats that have nutrients they need.it's PERSONAL CHOICE what you consume anyone trying to shame people for eating meat should be embarrassed for being idiotic...
@@danieldickson8591 you like OP is a literal DUMBASS!.
@@danieldickson8591 you and 'op are literally stupid beyond help..
1:46
I love how the fish looks at the camera for a moment
I think this fish is an intelligent human of his past life and still recognizing
I just wish more people would realize just how much animals understand us, they simply can't speak our language, and more often than not, we don't know how to understand what they're trying to tell us.
Hope you are a vegan then!. Imagine what their last thoughts would have been to be trapped in a net or bait to please the palate of fish'mongers'. What would happen to all the happy fishermen and father and son bonding over fishing sites. Probably, they would have cursed these people to fall for amm the 'catfish' scams happening these days.
@@lokkich487 Plants have feelings too. I am not vegan, if I were, with the factory farming practices, they kill many many more sentient beings to keep their crops "pest free". One cow is well over 600 pounds. That's hundreds of meals from just one animal. I try to eat unprocessed and whole foods. I grow my own when I can and I buy local when I can.
@@mixedmediaartgirl300and we can be kind to animals while they are alive. ❤
@@mixedmediaartgirl300it’s amazing that you’ve managed to justify killing animals, while acting like many plants can’t sustain life even after harvest, and you’ve made up a story about plants being sentient, which they are not. You’ve basically made up a bunch of stuff to justify the fact that you kill animals and make them suffer to sustain yourself. I respect people who admit they do it and don’t care more than someone like you who makes up lies to justify it while also acknowledging that these animals have pain and personalities.
@@MikeySkywalker I have cared for, rescued, and fostered hundreds of animals. I know they have feelings. I like animals better than people. But you completely ignored what I said about factory farming killing far more lives. All life matters from big to small. I do the best I can but that's all I can do. I will never try or be able to please any vegans.
As a scuba diver I would LOVE to have an experience like this!!!💙💙💙
People really don't give fish intelligence the credit they deserve. They have feelings, they remember, anything pretty much you or I would think and feel. No they don't understand algebraic equations, but they will school you any day on noticing tiny details, scent differentiation, and complex underwater navigation / blind navigation.
Get it, school?
Ahhhhhhh
Such a beautiful creature. Not a popular opinion, I know, but ever since I was a child I’ve thought that fishing was an incredibly cruel process.
Catch and release is normalized animal abuse, fishing for food is completely natural and the way of life.
i kinda agree in principal , but catch and release was pretty much born because it was illegal or to small to keep the fish and stuff like that. i did fish when i was younger and have no problem with it , i just grew out of it and find it boring and even back then i was going pretty much just to drink a few beers with friend more then anything else. one thing that annoyed me though was some people would kill the fish they didn't want so not to catch them again like the kinds they didn't eat or was too much trouble. the amount of dead fish i saw dumped on the ground a few feet from water pissed me off. @@bille.badass684
its not pointless and cruel haha, its actually good for the fish because us sport fisherman actually get to know how different fish behaves, if water quality changes by studying their behavior, plus most fish dont even feel when they get hooked because the lack of nerves in their mouth, So catch and release is actually good for the fish because of the information we learn off it, there are big sportfishing groups that are Catch and release that help rivers and lakes a TON. Catch and release fishing also improves native fish populations by allowing more fish to remain and reproduce in the ecosystem.@@bille.badass684
I regret that I didnt use a "humane" approach when I "cleaned" fish. I dont think there is one. Now I never catch/ buy fish.
Eating prey is just nature, if u dont eat em another predator(shark, orca, another human. etc.) Will eat them anyway
If a story like this doesn't warm your heart
there's something wrong with you
this is wonderful
add fish to the list of creatures on this earth who are far more decent than humans
thanks for sharing this with us
decent than humans? Humans are the ones that destoy and cause chaos among themselves and bring no joy to anyone but themselves usually now a days. Animals are far better because they dont care about our skin color, what s3x we are, who we love, they only care for our unconditional love and kindness we can give to them
More decent than humans🤨
Sad but true, people are becoming more selfish and cruel everyday, it’s a sad day when animals have more compassion and loyalty than supposed humans.
@@TJay41 There is no other animal in this world with more compassion than humans, it is ignorant and stupid to deny that.
@@skepticalcynic3022 There's also no other animal in the world that causes more cruelty and pain than humans. As a species this at least balances any compassion that humans sometimes have, overall we're probably a lot worse than the animal kingdom.
Simply amazing!! the natural world is full of suprises😊😊❤❤😊😊
Unlikely friends are always the best and the real ones ❤️
I'm sure he's leaving out the part where he fed him to get him to follow him around. The fish didn't just find a wandering human and think "this guy is now my friend, whether he likes it or not."
Beautiful story ❤
sorry it may seem inappropriate but can I ask you a question.?
When I see videos like this I start thinking there is more to this planet than we realize
Much, MUCH more
MORE THAN MORE
Sometimes I wonder if we all humans instead of ignoring, wild animals could have created a bond with several species.....This is so awesome to see.
Dude just created his own fish gang ♥
You’re like the little Merman 🧜♂️ . So good. ❤️
sorry it may seem inappropriate but can I ask you a question.?
Flounder and he needs a bird friend and a crab. Look at this stuff isnt it neat?
I just LOVE stories like this. There's one in which a diver has a shark friend. In this he lets diver tickle his belly. How cool😊
This is too adorable! How awesome to have such a unique friendship with s fish! When he brought his whole school to look at you....and followed you to shore, how special!!!!
How I love it❤ I'm never fishing again
Goes to show u that all creatures are sentient & intelligent beings.
I love when humans befriend animals, give them names and visit them. This is precious 💞💞💞
This is one of those things you have to see to believe. Amazing.
Guardian for them all… knowing this human creature as front runner
Just amazing and precious 💕💞
Wow, wow. This is too precious. I am also anti-fishing. I personally hate seeing how people revel in watching a fish wriggle on a hook (yes, painful to them) and then slowly suffer as they lose their life. It's not fun but some people get off on it. Feeding their ego, not thought of animals suffering. Anyone who has ever developed a relationship with a wild animal knows the awe and humility of that connection. I totally get how this man feels. It's so lovely seeing it.
You act like people are doing it to be cruel when some are just trying to survive. Sport fishing and trying to eat are two different things
@@miitfist7360 I don't "act like" anything. This is how I feel. Don't try putting words in my mouth either. Don't start inferring this about depriving people of food. What a leap! The problem is most people don't want to face the cruelty of killing fish. I think that's pretty clear.
Im sorry but a lot of fisherman are actually the biggest guardians and advocates for fish, your comment is ignorant and we do far more to keep our fish and our rivers and wildlife healthy than the majority of non fisherman. Sounds like a typical comment to be spouted from a hairy bushed vegan with no understanding of the sport and no willingness to educate yourself
Fishing is for survive bro 🥶
Yum yum fish
So fish have emotions
Everyone, remember! FISH ARE FRIENDS!
This video is so inspiring and moving!! I am going to try to stop eating fish. I have already cut out all meats, except fish. Now this video is touching my heart deeply to go further. Thank you so much
You Can Do It!!!👍🐡🐡❤️💚💛💜
@@hayleystewart5827 , thank you so much for your support!!!!
Fish do have a lot of extremely healthy nutrients in them, I'd suggest still eating fish but just invasive species. Carp, for example, are extremely damaging to the ecosystem in a lot of places.
It’s not the eating that is wrong, it’s the mistreating
The fish smiles at the diver.
When he turned the camera on all the other fish watching him I was cracking up! Lol he’s got a whole audience 😂😂
Fish are smart too.
If this guy gets lonely all he has to do is go snorkeling in the river and visit his friend 🙂❤
This is incredible. I love it when there’s something so special online. I will never eat fish again and my father and brother were fishermen. I had no idea that fish can friend you. Thank you for sharing this video 🐬🐟🐠🦈🩵🩵
Wow they sure trained their human well
0:13
The way he was just staring at him 😂😂
Adorable 🥰
Fish are far more complex and interesting than we know or give them credit for. Pet fish keepers know this, and scientists are only beginning to find out more. Thanks for sharing this (btw, what species of fish is this and where?).
I wondered the same thing, I was thinking it looks like a striped bass but I am not a fisherman
Man was accepted as an honorary fish 🥹😂😎
Humans can give off a frequency, that’s possible to match up with the frequency of another life. “He gives off a good vibe”. Remember, please be kind to all life!
I have a pond with lots of fish in it…my fish knows the sound of …my baby talk to them…. My family and friends tried to talking them with food…. But fishes didn’t respond the same way! With me …They flip their bodies…start to swim sideways…it’s so fun to see their tricks! I have stopped eating fish n meat because of my love for them!
I really enjoyed watching you dive and visit your friends ! Awesome !😊
Wow ... friends with a small mouth bass is pretty awesome 😅
Every single thing and earth is showing us that they r as aware as we are in their own way
So cute 🥹
Fortunately he is not a stupid fisher 😱 Animals are unbelievable ❤❤❤
Fish can play and do many other surprising things, fish are much more intelligent than we previously thought
So touching. Reminds me of my last goldfish. I’ve had many before Pico. He was black had the big pop eyes and a fanned tail. None of them would let me pet their fins or back or rub their head. Pico would see me and rush to the top of his bowl for a pet, no food reward just a pet. None of the other goldfish I had would let me do that. I’d run my finger across his bowl. And he’d follow it. Once I did it for five minutes and he followed my finger. So much for the three second attention span they say goldfish have. I fed him these flakes and his black turned to a brilliant gold but his fin tips had were black lined. They looked like racing stripes. He was a very active fish. Oh I loved that fish. I was going to move him to a bigger home and he suddenly died. He was only six months with me. I was so heartbroken I never got another fish. I seemed more attached to him than all the other goldfish I had since my first one I won at a fair in 1968 when I was 9. Tommy lived for two years. So it doesn’t surprise me that the diver made a fish friend. Animals are amazing critters. They know when you help them, they know you love them, and this fish just likes this guy and his buddies do too. We don’t give enough credit to many animals to have the capacity to show these kinds of feelings of liking you. I mean I had two red slider turtles as a kid. One was grumpy and introverted the other outgoing. Who would ever think that a turtle would follow you. No reward just follow because they like you. So when I saw a video of a person with a growing tortoise being affectionate, another with his iguana being affectionate, nothing to do with warmth or food. They just wanted to be with you, you realize animals are more complex than we realize. And this fish proves once again, that animals have likes just like anyone else. They’re not limited.
It’s beautiful to see. I hope the diver’s fish friends have a very long life and friendship with him.
Qué bello, me hace pensar que en un futuro los humanos y los animales podrán vivir en armonía❤
Oh great now I have to stop eating my fish sticks. What amazing creatures.
It's okay. The ones that became your fish sticks were jerks. Not the same fish. haha
Ahaha👏🤣
That's The Dodo I like, showing unlikely friendships.
This guy is the fish whisperer!
And that's how it is with Jesus... He's always there always protective... always interested in what we do...
This is wonderful... thank you
That fish 🐠put a smile on my face! Cute ☺️❣️
of all The Dodo videos this is the most surprising and endearing -
I know the feeling. I live near the ocean and used to bodyboard a lot. Usually in August dolphins are moving around Southern California. I've had a few close encounters with dolphin families who were very curious of me. Once I was in Costa Rica, wading in a warm fresh water pond near a waterfall, and all these neon colored tetras came up and swam around me like, "Hey! we found a human!" Such a calm feeling.
I love fish. My dad and I loved fishing. We would fish them, take pictures of them and put them back into the water. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Largemouth bass are a territorial fish.
It is not surprising the fish was keeping other fish away from the diver.
Is that what kind of fish it is?
yes@@Xalerdane
It looked like a smallmouth bass.
This is really cute. I think that’s the reason the fish is following the diver is that it either thinks like this fish might have like a symbiotic relationship with something and might think that the diver is that thing because the diver is chill and bigger. The fish probably feels safe that nothing would come around and eat it, also, the diver probably gives it food or something but this is also just really cute
Crabs are super smart and friendly too! Once you befriend them they will follow you everywhere.
The bond between you and that fish is special
Precious ❤❤😊
and when a wild animal simply loves you....
His love for you can only go so deep. He will never betray his oath & take you to his underwater kingdom.
I hope you have many reunions and you have such a wonderful story to tell.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who says fish are not smart. They are. Everyone learns so much with these videos. It's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had a gold fish once lived up to 7 years old. he would flap water all over the floor when his water was getting dirty and i forgot to clean it to order me to clean it asap.
This is the random wholesome content we all need
That's amazing ❤
It,s so cute❤️. Animals are the greatest
Wonderful story! My husband and I love swimming with fish. It’s another world down there. Time just flies by. Once, my husband had a dodgy stomach and unexpectedly threw up. Within seconds there were hundreds of fish swarming him. Funny! So now, we always take food scraps with us and watch them go at it.
That is some of the coolest bestfriendsmanship I've ever seen.
Man this is amazing, I hope that fish live long😭 🐟
Precious
Oh my goodness! God is so incredible. This is absolutely amazing!! 🐠🐟🐟🐠❤❤
F’ing amazing. I love it so much.
What more could a diver could ask for? I imagine not only observing marine life but interacting with it in such a personal way enriches an already awesome experience. Cool little fishie, cool diver!
sorry it may seem inappropriate but can I ask you a question.?
