It always feels amazing to answer @ecotrain's thoughtful questions and read other's answers as well. I was quite surprised seeing this week's question as it's a little different. You can read more about it Here

While thinking about the pets I have come across throughout my life, a few stories were floating on my mind. To be honest I'm not a pet person. Or I should say I never had the chance to have pet much. But if I want to make it more specific I would say we have a very different pet culture in my country - Bangladesh. People don't usually pet many animals. But that's a different story, I will tell another day.

So, I had a fish as a pet when I was studying at my University. It was a birthday gift from one of my friends. I was super excited about getting a 'GoldFish'. This was the first time I got the first-hand experience raring a fish. I didn't know anything and gradually learned everything.

I never knew a fish has so much intelligence and feeling. She learned by her intelligence that I'm gonna feed her now. When I pour the fish food on a little bowl, she can tell I'm going to feed her by the sound. She used to show excitement by swimming & moving fast and coming close to the aquarium.

She can also tell when I'm going out or coming back home. By observing me, my dressup and sound.

Sometimes my roommates or friends feed her randomly. And we can tell by her gesture that she is looking for me!

And when it's time for changing the water she used to show a different gesture as she didn't like the process.

I never knew a fish can do so much. I would never believe if someone tells me the same as long as I don't get those experiences. Yeah, fish are intelligent too as like any other animals. They can show their feelings too. But maybe not that vocal but you can tell by looking at their gesture.

She was with me form two and a half years. Once I went to visit my parent's house for a few days, giving her responsibility to one of my roommates. I don't know what gone wrong I didn't get to see her anymore. It's impossible to explain my feeling. I hope you can understand. That loss gave a scare on my heart and I fear to have any fish as a pet anymore till then.

So, that's my story...
