    This is exactly why I want a dogface puffer. I want friendly fish! I love my wrasses but they are not exactly the most trusting of fish. :cry

    I can get my hand pretty close to my two hawkfish and they don't freak out but have never tried to pet them. My old copperband I traded to Josh would eat out of my hand.

    The harlequin tusk I have will eat from my hand, heck he would eat my hand if he could!

    I had a two foot zebra moray that loved to be pet. When I would feed him with a shrimp on a stick he would attack it like a rabid dog, when I would hold the shrimp in my hand he would come and take it very gently. Then if I was doing something in the tank, he would always come out and rub against my hand. If I would move him away, he would come right back. Crazy Eel.
