Now are we talking about feelings like pain, hunger, etc. if so then yes I believe they do.

If we are talking about love, jealousy, anger, etc. mmm... Not sure but I don't think so.

Well my Red Tail Catfish sulks if i dont feed him on time and tears up all the airlines and filter inlets/outlets etc in a fit of temper tantrum so i think fish may be more human in thier thoughts/feelings than we give them credit for :what: :hehe:

 

[Feargal]

The more I think about it actually I think that they might.

I can remember my fish behaving in a jealous/angry manner towards other fish sometimes. Maybe there is something in it. :what:

I think there is m8......especially with larger fish and Catfish for definate lol 8)

All of my BIG fish have such endearing characters that they must have feelings.......and most of the big ones like a bit of playtime too (Oscar even likes a belly rub lol) which they all seem to enjoy so im sure that fish are capable of emotions as well ............lol ok so you all think im a freak now.....as if you didnt before lol :laugh: :hehe: :laugh: :hehe:
