In my experience, most fish are kind of pissy. They may not like being left out, but they are stand-offish. Not one of them has ever come out of his house to play with me.

I'm thinking their pissyness has something to do with always having to be in school. Personally I wouldn't mind that, but I could see how it could get tedious.

Heard about it but have forgotten the name of the company. I will SWAG with Grolsch which I think is actually Dutch, not Belgian. But I am guessing most of the beer brands aren't Belgian.
