, called fry fish, to sleep each night. The mother jewelfish moves to the resting spot. She stays there, waving her body and her fins as a signal for her fry to come in to sleep. Meanwhile, the father jewelfish scurries around searching for any fry that are trying to stay up past bedtime. Gently but firmly, the father scoops up any strays in his mouth. Then he swims back and blows the little fish into their nest (Feldman 21). According to Doug Stewart, "Fish most likely do not dream" (32:57-58). Invertebrates and cold-blooded vertebrates do not sleep (Cartmill 107:16-20). There are three opinions about fish and sleep. Feldman says fish sleep, Cartmill says fish do not sleep and Stewart says fish do not dream. There can not a definite answer to the question asked because who do say is right and who is wrong. I think that if fish are capable of sleeping then they are capable of dreaming but I will never know the true answer.The interview surveys conducted had various answers. According to all of the surveys from the people who have pets, 13 said they think their pet dreams and 2 said no. Twelve of the thirteen said the reason for believing their pet dreams is because they whine, bark and move. The one that was different said the reason is because of rapid eye movements. The two that said no stated "No, I just don't think they do" and the other "I have an extremely lazy cat that sleeps all day and night and never moves" (people survey). When comparing the answers to the veterinarian's answers they are almost the same. They all agree that animals do dream and one said maybe. The reasons are basically the same except one put "Yes, I think animals (at least mammals) do dream, because the nervous system of mammals is very similar to ours and they also have similar sleep-wake patterns as humans. For lower animals, such as birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and maybe even some mammalian species this might not be true however. (...
