Wet pets

What fishes qualify as wet pets? Does convict qualify as wet pets?

hahaha well generally no but i have a big male that acts like an oscar and greets me and i hand feed him so in some cases i say yes. lol, but other ones would be like RDs, jags, oscars, midas, FH idk there are more, but the classic wet pet would prolly be the oscar

Does he perch on your finger?

what is a wet pet? a personable aquatic creature??

 

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

yes, a wet pet is theoretically a fish that is very "personable", like oscars, FH's, etc. It shouldn't necessarily be something large, but usually this refers to a large fish

IMO, some convicts have the potential to be wet pets, but usually no. Even though I've worked with my male for a year and a half, he's very skittish. Certain species are better known for being wet pets like...

- Midas/ Red Devil
- Oscar
- Betta
- Green Terror (Gold Saum)

i didnt know what wet pet was but i guess thats why i got a flower horn , i wanted a big huge monster that would follow me and be a wet puppy.

Betta? Don't know that they can be personable, I have 5 of them, and they all seem skittish to me.
