Yes chaca chaca are definately nocturnal. I have two myself. One is on shrimp the other one won't touch it. But they are some of my favorite out of my collection becasue I can just pick them up with my hands. They chill on your hand and have no type of fear whatsoever. They're awsome.

did it take a while for them to acquaint yourself with their hand, or did you just try petting them one day and found out they didnt flinch?

Well when i netted them from the tank I realized that they had little to no response. Then when I got home I just picked them up out of the bag and dropped them in. Ever since i've been feeding the one that takes shrimp by hand. I'll randomly pet all my fish if they let me. Most swim away slowly. I'm sure my chaca chaca would resist more if they had the speed to. They're like underwater sloths.
