My Reticulated Puffer will allow me to hold him and even pick him up and move him into another tank. He is getting fairly big though so you have to watch your fingers when you feed him. I have been nipped a few times but I haven't actually been bit hard. He is a great fish with lots of personality. He hangs out at the top of the tank when I walk by hoping to get fed and will occasionally spit water out of the tank.
