Causes of flashing in freshwater fish
The most common cause of flashing is an infestation with parasites. The most common parasites in freshwater tanks that cause flashing are monogenic trematodes (also known as flukes) and the protozoa Trichodina, Ichthyophthirius, Costia (Ichthyobodo), and Chilodonella.
Obviously, fish live underwater, so the risk of their corneas becoming exposed to the air is not a problem for them. So you don’t have eyelids. If you don’t have eyelids, you can’t blink. But closing the eyelids isn’t just for spreading a tear film.
Pet goldfish can discriminate between humans and often recognize the human who feeds them regularly. Goldfish pets also appear to be quite fearful of new people, but over time become more comfortable with their owners once they realize they pose no threat.
Also called puffer fish, puffer fish produce a blinking response when researchers shine gentle streams of water at their eyes. But instead of relying on vertically or horizontally sliding eyelids – blinking as we know it – their eyes close in a circular motion…

“Because fish lack the part of the brain that differentiates us from fish – the cerebral cortex – I highly doubt fish do anything like cry,” Webster told LiveScience. “And certainly they produce no tears, as their eyes are constantly bathed in a watery medium.”
If you think of farting as a by-product of digestion – gases being expelled from the rear end – then most fish don’t fart. However, there are two exceptions, the shark and the herring.

Goldfish use body language to communicate. Speaking is usually a mammalian term using a voice box. Goldfish do not have a voice box and cannot hear verbal communication. but use their eyes and senses to interpret what the other fish is transmitting.
Air has an extremely low refractive index, making it impossible to see anything. Neither we nor fish can see the air in the environment.
But can fish hear? Fish don’t have ears that we can see, but they do have ear parts in their heads. According to the National Wildlife Federation, they pick up sounds in the water through their body and inner ear.
Fish don’t sleep like land mammals do, but most fish are dormant. Research shows that fish can reduce their activity and metabolism while remaining alert to danger. Some fish swim in place, others wedge themselves in a safe spot in mud or coral, and some even find a suitable nest.
Blinking doesn’t always mean me. It can also mean leeches. All my fish went through copper and prazi and my hippo tang still flashes occasionally.
Fish often rub against rocks to clean themselves or simply to scratch an itch. Often referred to as blinking, it’s a very natural behavior so don’t be alarmed.
