They really do seem insightful and thoughtful for sure. When my Majestic fell ill and I was trying to to swim her around, my naso came and helped me with her. She would swim on the other side of my hand to hold the angel upright, and would watch her and not allow other fish to come near the angel. It was very touching to see. She guards the baby fish and makes sure no harm comes to them. If the three other tangs quarrel, she comes and breaks it up. When the other tangs see her coming they disperse very quickly. I know that fish thinks and has feelings more so then the others.

From a terrified fish that almost starved to death she has become robust and will eat nori from my hands (only thing she eats to this date but working on it and giving selcon to compensate). She swims into my hand and I can run my fingers along her topline. She looks like velvet but she feels like sandpaper.

If I could only keep one fish, she would be the one to stay. I would never part with her.

I also don't know yet if mine is male or female. "He" is a little too small still to know. It does look like "he" may be getting the streamers but maybe not. Hard to tell.
