My home is in a tank in the lowest part of a 3 x 3 tank rack, and my favorite spot is underneeth the wooden root in my home. And there I stay all day long, except if my owner passes my tank, and then bow down to it. That means food! Well, usually it does...
Today my owner passed my tank, and bowed down to "talk" to me, and as usual I kept a close eye on her. I even came out of hiding, to be prepared for any goodies coming into the water. But nothing happened, except for my owner trying to say something to me. I tried my frenetic waving with my fins (all but my tail), while standing still i the water. No luck with that tactic either. She left the tank for some seconds, and then came back to continue the "talking". Still no food! And now I didn't either bother to wave my fins either. And when she left again, I had had enough. I went whoosh into the sand, and have stayed there for 3 hours now. If you are not going to feed me, I am not going to talk to you either!
