My fish are very cute and I am trying to find ways to give them treats, however I don't know what I can do to let them feel special. Can you please give em a few tips? Thanks
Answers:
more common fish treats would be frozen foods you can get at the pet store -- blood worms, brine shrimp and stuff like that -- they sell brine shrimp hatcheries so you can grow your own too.
i boil a leaf of lettuce or spinach and feed that to them -- they might not go for it right away but once they do they are crazy about it -- fish tend to be creatures of habit so if you feed them food that looks a certain way (like floating food) they might not recognize other things (like the lettuce) even if they like the taste better.
a big favorite is the middle part of zucchini boiled until its just a little soft -- like 2 minutes. i cut it up in thin strips that look like zucchini spaghetti.
Well maybe you should get a kitten, you can't really pamper fish.
That would be a wonderful thing to do if fish actually had emotional feelings. You can provide them with better care, but they are pretty much incapable of showing appreciation and happiness for your extra efforts. What kind of fish do you have? There are somethings you can do but varies by species.

They sell fishy treats at pet stores =)
its hard to say when i dont know what kind of fish but you could try to get them some kind of fishy treat eg frozen brine shrimp or something else that that particular species of fish may like but not get on a daily basis
Fish are not very intelligent, nor do they react well to changes in their environment, so treats might not always be healthy for them and even if they are the fish may not have the mental ability to consider them as treats the way a dog or cat would. For one thing, you want to make sure you never overfeed them. Probably the best idea is just to improve their everyday environment, for example many fish seem to like live food, and sprucing up the aquarium with some plants might make them feel more at home.
