Can Fish Smell Something Out Of The Water?

My vote is that this is a "Palov's dogs" induced reaction at this time

They do have a sense of smell but not as we do, thats why I was wondering if their nares picked up sent out of the water.

At a guess if they are picking up smells of things outside the tank then it must be due to the molecules entering the water through surface agitation maybe?

I doubt they can smell everything that's been talked about but thinking of fried bacon and how it can fill the air with that lovely smell there is a good possibility those smelly molecules make it into the water

For the most past I'd say it's seeing you around the tank, especially if the time is about right, that gets them excited...[font="arial]"Pavlov's dogs" is most likely I'd say ([/font][/color][url="http/nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/pavlov/readmore.html"]http/nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/pavlov/readmore.html[/url])
