Who has a catfish that acts like a dog?

[Honda12]

Do any of you have any catfish that act like dogs.

I have a marbled pim about 14in right now and every time I come by the tank he gets all excited. He comes swimming up the the top and I can pet him and hand feed him. He's not just hungry either cause I feed him two pieces of smelt in the morning and like 5 night crawlers and the he wont eat for the rest of the day. You can put it in his mouth and he will spit it out.

Also when I clean the tank or have my hands in it he will swim around my arms and hands and brush up against me.

I could probably pick him up if I wanted too.

Also it is kind of creepy too cause whenever I use the computer like right now, he comes to the end to the tanks closest to me and just sits there and watches me.

Everybody who owns an RTC probably has a fish that acts like a dog, except for the barking.

my albino channel cat does the same thing.
It's hilarious when I walk up to the tank ALL of my big fish huddle up and stare at me.....the perch kind of scares me though lol.

who said dogs are man's best friend? In MFK, monster fish are!

We imported a Bolt Cat that was much like that.. Some species can be very personality driven and friendly !! :)

My RTC and arowana are both my lil dogs.

ive got a 6" red tail that does the same

My brown bullhead is very active and owner responsive, won't let me pet him yet though.

My Catfish just wiggles a lot when he's excited, but isn't too personal yet. My TSN does the same thing. He lays around all day until he's hungry. My Oscar, however, knows his daddy!

I want my pim to do that when it grows a bit! that'd be cool! :-D neat to hear!

my red tail does the same thing

Best regards.

My bullhead Wendell used to act a bit like that. Here's a video of him at one of those times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiOIKxZZ9m8I recently had to give him away as I'm moving and can't take him with me. He's gone to a better place anyway, a 100 gallon with a couple bluegills.

yup.

I find that marbled cats are very very very interactive with their owner.

just like the red tailed cat but must more agile.

I love them.

my walker acts like a dawg

[rocsorcs]

Once I was able to get my peacock bass weaned off of live food, they act just like that when I walk by the tank. I know it's just because they are hungry, though.

that's nice... bonding with the owner.:) my dats go to me for no reason full or hungry. but never swims near me when i change the water.:)
