I am the TA for the Aquarium Science class at my college. My students caught these fish (among others) during a collecting trip. They became this tame in about a week.

At the end of the trip the professor offered to hold my fishing rod while I helped some of the students. I had just cast my line, and less than a minute after taking it he reeled in a bonnethead shark (Sphyrna tiburo). Oh well, I'll get one soon.
