Research suggests that fish can exhibit behaviors that are similar to depression when they experience the loss of a tank mate. These behaviors may include decreased activity, loss of appetite, and social withdrawal. While it is not fully understood if fish experience emotions like humans do, their responses to loss indicate that they may be capable of feeling some form of distress or sadness.
