Hm, that makes a lot of sense. Like Fish seeming happy to see me, maybe it reflects how I want Dr. T to feel in my presence, too. And the mirroring.
Also the story of how he got her was rather endearing. Where he was at the pet store buying other items, and she was in a container, where they'd written "I've been here a long time, someone please take me home" (or something like that). And he was touched by it so bought her.
Oh, so this is sort of relevant, too, I guess. He'd had a betta in the office before, when I first started seeing him. He let a suite mate watch him while he was away a couple times. I came in one time after his vacation, and the fish was gone. I asked if he had died, and he said that no, his suite mate got attached to him, so he let her have him. So it seemed like the fish was disposable, like if he could just hand off a pet like that, might he also do that with a client?
