I wish there was a section to read individual story's but for now how do you play with your pets?
I just recently learned that My dominant male molly fish not only runs the tank, but he isn't afraid to eat flake or lettuce from my fingers..
Do any of your aquatic friends do any tricks?
 
I love my Albino Tiger Oscar, he's so interactive. When I come in the room he recognizes me, and will start begging for food by darting back and forth and sucking at the waters surface. He does the same thing with my dog, who likes to stare at the fish :D He thinks the dog means food, too.

Cool that your Molly does that. I have Molly fry and if my finger goes in the tank they'll start pecking at it!
 
my hybrid midevilxblood parrot will spot me from across the room from the other side of my 75 and book across the tank to put on a show. He also takes krill from my hand and gives me a thank you splash when i give him his bloodworms. Pretty cool your molly is doing it
 
This is the best thread ever!
My baby fahaka likes for me to tap on her glass to let her know I'm there. She comes cruising out and rubs on the glass where my hand is. She likes to be hand fed, and when she's a little bigger, I will start petting her. Right now, she is only about 2 1/2-3".
My 18" Ornate loves for me to come to his tank. When he's at the surface, he lets me pet him, and he loves the voice you use when you talk to big dogs. hahaha It sounds so stupid when I read that I typed that, but it's true. If he has his back to me and I talk in my normal voice, he doesn't care. When I use the puppy voice he turns around and comes to see me. Probably to tell me I'm dumb! :ROFL:
Most of my fish let me hand feed. I used to have a RTC that liked to be petted as well. He would come to the surface for pets and loves.
 
My gt male eats blood worms and cichlid sticks out of my hand also chases around my laser pointer lol he trys to bite it. When I come home he starts swimming against the glass begging for food

My 15" puffer has amazing vision. He sees me coming down the hall and gets excited. If I'm feeding the tank beside his, he'll start splashing on the surface "don't forget about me" haha. I can pet him like a dog no problem. He'll take prawn and clams from my fingers.
 
My ray and cats constantly pounce at one another through the glass. Sometimes i hand feed him and he slidea up my hand to grab the nightcrawler, he then tries to eat my fingers. Feels funny, almost got a stingray hickey.

My knifefish sees me comming down the stairs and gets excited, ill open the top and stick my hand in and he'll swim up against my arm letting me pet him. Hes almost like my dog when I get home from work.
