A lighthearted guide for overachievers with aquatic friends
Introduction
In a world where remote work dominates and video calls are the norm,
we often forget about our loyal companions behind the glass — our
goldfish. If you've ever felt guilty for leaving your scaly friend
out of your daily routine, worry no more. This is your step-by-step
guide to making your goldfish a productive member of your virtual
team.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Select a Willing Participant
Look for signs of enthusiasm in your goldfish:
Step 2: Build the Workspace
You'll need:
Position your fish tank so the camera captures your fish in its most contemplative state.
Step 3: Schedule "Meetings"
Goldfish thrive on routine. Set a daily time to turn on a video call
and place a small treat near the tank afterward. Positive
reinforcement works wonders (though the fish may just be responding
to snacks).
Step 4: Teach Webcam Presence
Goldfish have short attention spans. Keep sessions short and
visually stimulating. Consider showing them slideshows of underwater
landscapes or a slow-moving lava lamp.
Step 5: Encourage Interaction
Try gentle tapping (once!) to get their attention. Use your voice
during meetings so they start recognizing your tone. Some owners
claim their fish swim closer to the screen when hearing familiar
voices — this is probably coincidence, but it's adorable.
🤔 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can fish actually recognize people on screen?
A: Research suggests some fish can distinguish faces, especially
when trained. So… maybe!
Q: Is this harmful to the fish?
A: As long as you don't over-stimulate them with bright lights or
loud sounds, no. Keep sessions short, volume low, and avoid sudden
movements.
Q: What's the point of this?
A: Mostly fun. Some bonding. And hey — your fish gets more mental
stimulation than usual, and you get a morale boost.
Q: Can I bring my fish to real meetings?
A: Absolutely. Whether people will take you seriously is another
matter.
🐠 Tips for Success
Closing Thoughts
While your fish might not contribute much to strategy discussions,
they'll be the most calming presence in any virtual meeting. In a
remote world full of stress and noise, your aquatic assistant brings
just the right amount of peace, curiosity, and comic relief.
