It's not a marine fish but my favourite was an extremely agressive fresh water ray. I remember one day I threw 50 gold fish in with it thinking they'd last days. Came back in an hour and there were 2 left.

How do people do this with butterfly's all the time? ive seen lots of people talk about feeding there cbb by hand and now petting there fish? do people train them for this or do they just get comfortable enough that they dont freak out when you touch them or something? cause i think that'd be pretty sweet feeding a fish by hand

Default favorite fish

My favorite fish is my Rhinopias Frondosa.
Most people don't even notice it in my tank even though it is the biggest fish in there.(due to it's purple coraline algea color)
Once I point it out people are amazed!

Back in the 80's, I had a tank full of fish that I handfed. My Passer King angel and Moorish Idol would nibble off my fingers. My snowflake moray, smooth horn shark and Volitan lion would grab squid and smelts out of my fingers. It was cool but fairly time consuming & your fingers smelled like seafood With the shark, it would grab the squid and suck it back bit by bit, forcing me to eventually let go before it's teeth reached my fingers. I was young & foolish, so I wouldn't recommend doing this with possibly dangerous fish nowadays.

I have too many fish that I really like. Seahorses, angels, tangs seem to top my list.

Two fish species that are hard to keep but I really love are twin spot gobies and mandarin gobies.

It has to be "Moe"..the Blonde Naso Tang. He has a very like-able personality. Very laid back, relaxed...comes to see you whenever you are near the tank...never mean to any other fish in the tank. He's also absolutely flawless and has the biggest eyes....



Hmm...he's really grown. Time for a updated photo!

They don't have the greatest colors, or shape for that matter. But what personality. The lowely lawnmower blennie takes first prize in my tank.
