Today i was cleaning out my 180 and my perruno was up and was rubbing against my hand and letting me pet and stroke bis wiskers it was amazing, Has this happened to anybody else with a perruno? As they are supposed to be skittish.

Many catfish will warm up to your hand after they get use to you. They will let you pet them and hand feed them. I've had marbles do that in the past.
I was feeding shrimp and perch fillets to our 720 gallon which houses 2 22"-24" L. longibarbus (marble pims) earlier this week and had a similar occurrence. I was holding a piece of shrimp in my fist, waiting for the gar to come back around when, all of a sudden, I felt a gentle nibble in my fingers. When I looked down there was one of the marbles nibbling on my hand and looking up at me like "I know you are just dying to give me that last piece of shrimp!" lol. He was already stuffed to the gills but lookin' for more! I had to turn him down though and he swam away disappointed

My Experience with Marble cats is they act a lot like RTC's. I've owned 3 in the past and currently own one......... and I've loved them all. I've never had a jumpy one. The good thing about them other than their personality is that you can actually keep them with other fish.......Unlike a big RTC.
