how tamed is your fish?

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.

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.

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

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 :thumbsup:
