Do any of you have any catfish that act like dogs.

I have a marbled pim about 14in right now and every time I come by the tank he gets all excited. He comes swimming up the the top and I can pet him and hand feed him. He's not just hungry either cause I feed him two pieces of smelt in the morning and like 5 night crawlers and the he wont eat for the rest of the day. You can put it in his mouth and he will spit it out.

Also when I clean the tank or have my hands in it he will swim around my arms and hands and brush up against me.

I could probably pick him up if I wanted too.

Also it is kind of creepy too cause whenever I use the computer like right now, he comes to the end to the tanks closest to me and just sits there and watches me.
 
the only cat i ever had was a big tsn i think he was more like a cat then a dog. He was only active when he needed something
 
my albino channel cat does the same thing.
It's hilarious when I walk up to the tank ALL of my big fish huddle up and stare at me.....the perch kind of scares me though lol.
 
We imported a Bolt Cat that was much like that.. Some species can be very personality driven and friendly !! :)
