This is how you know you spend to much time with your hands in the tank when you can pet your fish.
I am not condoning petting your fish but my LMB has been with me for so long and thru two moves that he is just used to my hands being in with him.
Sometimes if i turn my hand upright he will jump on it and chill out.
This was the first time he was cool with a photo being taken.

Thanks, i think so too. Never had a fish jump on my hand and stay thier. I guess i'm gonna have to start bringing my work camera home everynight so the LMB gets used to having his pic taken.

awwww!! Now THAT is TOO cute!!~

How sweet. He's just sitting there letting you pet him. Loooove it!
I have my hands in the tank a lot too, so my fish are used to seeing it there. I can hand feed my babies, but I don't think they will actually let me pet them like your LMB does! That's awesome!~

Your clowns feeding from you is cool, my clown rips my hand apart if i get to close to its host. My skunks shrimps hop all over my hand and arms pinching me as they pick at my skin.
My two older tang will eat seaweed from my hand but i have to keep it still or they run away PDQ.

I think he might have some dogfish
in him

you could be right he likes the side of his head rubbed and down by his tail. When i move my hand away he will chase after it. If i ignore him he will bite the tip of my finger till i pet him at least once.
I kind of thought he was a nutty fish to be allowing and liked to be pet.
