Captured in a viral TikTok video shared under the username @snappythekoi, Snappy’s exuberance is impossible to miss.

As his owner nears the pond, Snappy’s reaction is instantaneous—he leaps out of the water, almost breaching the pond’s edge in his eagerness to be first in line for the meal.

“My Koi Snappy gets a little excited every time we go to feed him,” reads the text overlay on the clip.

The accompanying caption humorously adds: “This is Snappy our Koi Carp, despite being fed twice / three times daily…you would think he is starving. Will now rename him Kamikaze…”

Fish are often underestimated in terms of intelligence, but they are more perceptive than many realize.

According to PetMD, fish can sense changes in their environment, such as when their tank is rearranged, and can even recognize when a tank mate has been replaced.

Studies also indicate that fish can distinguish between different fish, even those of the same species, which means they can tell when a new fish has joined their tank.

Moreover, some research suggests that fish might even be able to recognize human faces, despite not needing this skill for survival.

The video has garnered significant attention, amassing over 4.9 million views and 704,000 likes on TikTok.
