I always have that feeling. Something is always up with one of my pets, so when it isn’t I am on high alert.

Yea, having severe anxiety doesn’t help either ? along with my adhd all I do is think of a million possibilities of terrible scenarios and that’s what I’m up all night doing ?. It’s just that he’s been eating perfectly, no disease or abnormalities and it just seems too good to be true and knowing how my past has been I know something absolutely ridiculous is gonna happen soon.
Every issue I’ve had keeping fish has been by my mistake so if you correct those mistakes then chances of anything happening greatly lowers but yes I have the same paranoia. I just do what I need to do and ignore it.
Realized that one of my videos blew up. Just wanna say thank you to all of you that watched it and it’s just unbelievable. Thank you 
Oh my gosh! That’s an insane number of views! I watched it, but people had to have searched up hand feeding a flowerhorn!
As long as their hands are clean I don't see why it would cause any problem. Granted there's always risks involved with everything we do with our fish tanks but that's just part of the hobby anyways.
Lol just grab yourself some tackle and gear and head out to the nearest pond. Ya should be able to find some pumpkin seed sunfish or if ya get really lucky ya might find the holy grail of sunfish, lepomis humulus a.k.a. the orange spotted sunfish. Both of those species get to roughly 4-5in depend on whether it's male or female. Here's a pic of each, pretty easy to tell what is what based on name.
But yeah these guys are allot like SA & CA cichlids with their aggression level and personalities. Lol lots of attitude, personality and color all wrapped up into a neat lil package.
My favorite is the blue spot sunfish
Yeah they are nice but the only downside is is they need sub tropical temps to live in since they are native to Florida, while with the other 2 I mentioned, both are cold water species so they can handle allot wider range of temps. So no heater needed technically.
I love sunfish! That’s what I would want if I ever started up a native tank.
