Can't understand the photo issue, I can see them fine. As for the fish, we keep doviis, managuensis, festae etc. We have noticed that the fish, if they do like you as in this case, will NEVER attack you. In fact when I put my hand in the tanks to clean them they pull back at the other side of the tank and stay there watching until maintenance is over. If they object to you at this particular moment in time, for whatever reason, they will warn you by throwing water at you (as they do just before jawlocking with other fish). If you don't take their warning seriously then ... too bad, they will attack.

I agree. When i clean my managuense tank he hates the siphon hoses but doesn't mind my hand picking things up to get underneath. Though if he hadn't killed his mate yet( he has killed 4 females by relentlessly mouthing them) he will sometimes bite picking things up if they just spawned. Though none of my fish pull back to the other side of the tank when maintenance is going besides my male Istlanum.

Very very cool site though i enjoyed reading and watching.
