nuj244 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Is your fish getting stressed when you put your hand into the tank or it is already accustomed and does not care? Please share with picture. Generally, Goby is easily frightened and tend to jump if startled or stressed but not my goby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted February 1, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted February 1, 2011 some of my fishes are extremely tamed. like my hooded fairy wrasse and my beauperryi's fairy wrasse. both of which allow me to catch them out of the water slowly using my hands. no need net. i think i posted a pic somewhere before bt i can't find it. my butterflies also allow me to touch them in water. but they are not ready to let me hand catch them yet.

SRC Member poomoon Posted February 1, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted February 1, 2011 I haven't tried catching them with my hand, though my clown goes near my hand time to time, and is used to sticking it's nose out of the water when I offer to feed it with mysis or brine with my fingers, takes it even before the food touches the water Quote 25 Gal Micro Ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scare kena bite... Hehehe.... lol ... maybe the bite will just tickle you. i used to jump into a lake of hundreds of 1.5-foot milk fishes during feeding, and you'd just feel either tickled or massaged Quote 25 Gal Micro Ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
